Welcome to my Resident Evil 5 Guide, fellow Resident Evil fan! - Berserker
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
L O N G T I M E N O S E E, C H R I S.
Chris Redfield now a member of the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment
Alliance) has been sent to Africa in order to investigate a reported
bioterrorists hotspot in the town of Kijuju. He drives his jeep along the dirt
road toward his destination and prepares to meet up with another BSAA agent.
When Chris arrives, the agent introduces herself - Sheva Alomar, his new...
P A R T N E R. . . ?
The familiar word echoes throughout Chris' mind as he recalls the tombstone
with the year April 2006 etched into it. You see, his last partner was a woman
too - Jill Valentine. Both Jill and Chris survived the horrors of the Spencer
Estate in Raccoon City - what later became known as "The Mansion Incident".
Jill is now proclaimed dead, but Chris believes she is still alive. Despite
that, casualties continue to the mount over the long years he has struggled.
More and more, he finds himself wondering...
I S I T A L L W O R T H F I G H T I N G F O R ?
Who knows? Maybe one day, he'll find out. Chris has got a job to do here
though, and he's going to see it through. Both Chris and Sheva gather their
belongings and enter the town of Kijuju. They are met with vacant and ominous
stares as they walk down the streets of the town. All they see is death on the
way to their location and then sudden...
S I L E N C E.
A siren is heard in the distance and the town's inhabitants suddenly
disappear...? But where? The two meet up with their contact and he fills them
in on the situation and where they are to meet up with the rest of the BSAA
squad. The contact tells them of a lead that the BSAA has on a man named
"Irving". He also mentions something else... something about a doomsday
project codenamed "Uroboros". Chris and Sheva gather their gear and soon
depart further into the streets of Kijuju to meet up with their squad and find
Irving.

--> WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR
We last met at the Spencer Estate, wasn't it? While aboard the Ecliptic
Express? During Jill Valentine's Last Escape from Raccoon City? Maybe during
the Fall of Umbrella? Or perhaps during the details of the most recent Kennedy
Report? Maybe you have read my work before through my Resident Evil 4: Wii
Edition guide or my Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles guide. Maybe you
haven't. Either way, prepare for a few year's worth of anticipation for
Resident Evil 5 in written form.
How many times have you played the RE5 demo? I've had a fellow gamer ask me
that question over Xbox LIVE and after a long pause, the only answer I could
give him was somewhere over 100. It's actually much more than that, I assure
you. Has there been another demo that you've spent as much time on as Resident
Evil 5? My answer? Never. My obsession with the series has never been so
clear to me.
I consider myself a very hardcore Resident Evil fan since I've been completely
obsessed with the series since that day back in 1996, so this guide will cover
ever single solitary piece of information you can think of and then some.
Please enjoy this guide and email me if you have any questions. I wouldn't
mind feedback through email if you have the time. If you have anything to add
then email me! Please do not add me to your yahoo or msn messenger, email me
instead.
--> UPDATES TO MY RESIDENT EVIL 5 GUIDE
I will always post all updates made to this guide at the following link below:

Feel free to post up any comments that you want in that post. It will be the
main area that I'll use for any additions, ideas or just to randomly rant and
bitch about something.

come across the network settings where one can control various online
functions.
--> Co-Op Settings
Rogue = No other player can join in the your game
Invite Only = Only players that are invited can join
No Limits = Anyone can join you game at any time, so long as you willingly
accept the player when that person joins.
--> Attack Reaction
This changes whether players can hit each other or not. The option is "No" by
default. By choosing "Yes", the players will be able to hit each other, so if
one character stands in the way while another character fires, the bullets will
hit the character that stands in front of the gunfire. A character's melee
attacks can hit the partner as well. Ever wanted to feel the full force of
Chris' Haymaker? Players cannot sustain damage from one another under this
option however.
Turning this on will also make it to where the AI partner will join in on
hitting an enemy after an arm stun melee. While an enemy staggers away after a
melee attack, the AI partner will usually run up and perform a melee to it as
well. The attack reaction can really help out when fighting a Big Man Majini
since he can be hit from either side during a tag team melee sequence.
--> Infinite Ammo
The infinite ammo option allows the host player to choose whether or not
infinite ammo is allowed in the game or not. By choosing "Yes", players that
unlocked the infinite ammo option per gun can use infinite ammo guns in while
playing alongside the host. By choosing "No" no infinite ammo weapons are
allowed and are thereby locked out from use.
--> Xbox 360 Invite:
After allowing a player to join a game, press the guide button on the Xbox 360
controller, choose "Friends" and cycle to the friend that you want to invite.
Select your friend then select either the "Invite to Game" or "Invite to Party
and Game" option to send that player an invite.
--> Xbox 360 Accept Invite
Open the invite message then choose to join the game. Both players will be
taken to the main inventory menu and both players must choose to start the game
by picking the "Ready" option or one player can choose "Ready" and the other
player will have 60 seconds to manage any leftover needs before the game
automatically starts.
--> PS3 Invite:
After allowing a player to join a game by choosing the "Invite Only" or "No
Limits" open up the XMB by pressing the PS button then select a player on your
friends list and press the /\ button then choose to "Invite this Player".
--> PS3 Accept Invite:
Someone must first invite you to a game of RE5, obviously. You will receive a
message displaying the following:
Subject: Resident Evil 5
Would you like to play RESIDENT EVIL 5 in story mode with me?
Once you receive this message, highlight the friend that sent this invitation
to you and press /\ then select "Accept Invitation". From the screen that pops
up, press start then choose to "Join Game" when the invitation appears. Both
players will be taken to the main inventory menu and both players must choose
to start the game by picking the "Ready" option or one player can choose
"Ready" and the other player will have 60 seconds to manage any leftover needs
before the game automatically starts.
For Mercenaries mode invitations, the following message will be received:
Subject: RESIDENT EVIL 5
Would you like to play RESIDENT EVIL 5 in THE MERCENARIES mode with me?
___________________________________________
PLAYING WITH A LOCAL PLAYER (OFFLINE PLAY) \___________________________________
--> Joining the game
In order for a second player to join in a game, the second player needs to
press the "Start" button on the second player controller. The players will be
taken to the main inventory screen then both must select "Ready" to start the
game.
--> Split Screen
While playing with local play, the screen will be split into two sections. The
player of Chris (first player) will use the top screen while the player of
Sheva (second player) will use the bottom screen.
___________________
SKIPPING CUTSCENES \___________________________________________________________
In order to skip a cutscene, press the Select (PS3) or Back (Xbox 360) button.
In a co-op game both players must press the button to skip a cutscene. The
"Skip" icon will appear on the screen for the player that hasn't agreed yet,
and that player must press the Back button as well for the cutscene to end; if
not then the full cutscene will play for both players.
____________
THE MINIMAP \__________________________________________________________________
Command: Tap the Map button (R2/RB) to bring up the minimap.
The minimap (GPS) displays on the right hand side (Chris) or left hand side
(Sheva) of the screen and should always be pulled up when your character first
starts out in any of the stages. The map shows a full display of the current
surroundings and has a compass in the upper left corner that always points
north. This map can help you to identify destinations, key items and bosses,
but most importantly, it will display your partner's location while online.
The partner's icon will display the direction the partner is heading as
represented by the way that the partner's colored arrow is pointing.
The table below lists the map icons with the corresponding description as shown
on the map:
.------------------------------------------------------.
| Chris = Green Arrow |
| Sheva = Purple Arrow |
| Destination Pointer = Yellow Arrow |
| Destination Marker = Yellow Circle w/Yellow Arrow |
| Checkpoint = Flashing Yellow Circles |
| Locked Door = Light Blue Circle w/Key Symbol |
| Boss Enemy = White Triangle |
'------------------------------------------------------'
________
RUNNING \______________________________________________________________________
Command: Forward on left thumbstick + hold Run button
While holding down the Run button your character will run instead of moving
with the usual walking animation while your character moves forward.
___________
QUICK TURN \___________________________________________________________________
Command: Back on left thumbstick + Run button
Tap back on the Left thumbstick and the Run button at the same time to
instantly turn around. You must learn to use this method of turning during
intense battles or your character may get hit from turning too slow with the
thumbstick.
_____________
KNIFE ATTACK \_________________________________________________________________
Command: Hold the knife button then tap the Action button
Chris or Sheva will hold up the knife and slash. Chris' "knife" weapon is
actually a machete. You'll mainly want to use this close range weapon to bust
open breakable objects.
The knife is very useful for close combat while fighting a normal enemy as
well. Try to aim for the enemy's face or midsection of the body or legs and
this might stun the enemy to where your character can simply run up to the
enemy and initiate a melee attack through a button tap sequence. The knife
slash has a very wide range and will usually stagger a normal enemy and can
also stagger a group of enemies in front of your character.
________________
SPECIAL ACTIONS \______________________________________________________________
Command: Action button when a special action button prompt appears
When standing near a window or any type of object that can be leaped over or
while standing near a ledge that your character can jump from, an action
command button prompt will appear and allow your character to perform the
action as labeled on the screen by tapping the button on the screen.
______________
OPENING DOORS \________________________________________________________________
Command: Action button near a door/double tap the Action button near a door
Press the Action button to quietly open a door. Double tap the Action button
to kick open a door. A door that is kicked open can hit enemies and a door
that is kicked while badly damaged (two hits) will be destroyed. Keep in mind
that you can damage or destroy doors with knife slashes, explosions or gun
blasts.
TIP: A door kick animation will make your character invincible during the
kicking animation, a door opening animation does not grant invincibility. On
the flip side, a door kick will alert enemies to your presence immediately
while a door opening animation is quiet enough to keep your character from
being instantly spotted.
_________________
ITEMS/ITEM DROPS \_____________________________________________________________
Items are scattered throughout various sections of the environment and can be
found in breakable objects and collected in the form of item drops after
defeating an enemy. Items lying in the environment will always be the same
item for each playthrough while items obtained from breakable objects and enemy
drops are random.
To destroy a breakable object, it is usually best to equip the knife and slash
it in order to save ammo when destroying it to save ammo. In tense situations,
you may want to shoot the object with a handgun to keep from having to go
through the knife equipping and slashing animations.
Items that are found in breakable objects and items that are dropped by enemies
give off a certain colored glow or other appearance depending on the type of
item:
.--------------------------------------------------------------.
| Gold/Valuable Pickup = Blue |
| Health Pickup = Green |
| Ammo Pickup = Red |
| Key Item = Shimmers with white glow periodically |
'--------------------------------------------------------------'
Keep these item appearances in mind when in tense situations in order to
quickly distinguish between them. You don't really want to accidentally grab
gold when you're close to death and there is a health item glowing green up
ahead, do you?
TIP: Items that are dropped by enemies can sometimes mount up in a certain
area. To avoid picking up an unwanted item, move over the group of items until
the item you actually want to retrieve is displayed on the screen. The
character has to be standing directly above the item in order to retrieve a
certain item from a group of several items.
__________________
HAZARDOUS OBJECTS \____________________________________________________________
Just like with all Resident Evil games starting from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
and onward, Resident Evil 5 has many hazardous objects that can be shot from a
distance in order to damage a group of enemies at once.
- Red Explosive Barrel (Drum) - These red metal barrels can be shot from a
distance to trigger a big explosion that will heavily damage any enemy that
is standing near it. Explosive barrels produce a much bigger explosion this
time around, so be sure to stand far enough away from them before shooting.
- Oil Canisters - Oil canisters are red canisters that are always found in a
group. Shoot one of the oil canisters and the shot will pierce one of the
barrels and ignite the oil inside. The oil will make a path of fire in the
direction that it spews and burn any enemies that are in the way or happen to
step through it. The fire will eventually die down in a few seconds.
- Transformer - Transformers are electrical metal power boxes that are found
hanging from wooden poles in certain areas. Aim for any portion of them and
shoot them to make them fall and send out a blast of electricity all around
them that will damage and stagger any enemy that is near it. The electrical
shock will begin to die down and eventually stop.
A grounded transformer can be shot when it is inactive to send out another
blast of electricity once again and it can be shot while the electricity
field is weak to keep the small electrical charge going. Even the small
electrical charge can damage any close range enemy. Grounded transformers
can be constantly shot again for more explosive electrical blasts while they
are in the area.
TIP: When you enter an area and see a hanging transformer, if you plan on using
it, it is best to shoot it down early so you don't have to aim upwards during
the middle of an intense battle. Just watch for the electric current and make
sure that your partner is not in the way.
- Gas Tank - In a few areas of the game, red explosive gas tanks or gas
canister can be shot for an explosion much like a red explosive barrel.
Gas tanks can sometimes be turned over on their side during some boss fights.
NOTE: Be sure to avoid shooting any of the above objects if your partner is
currently in the way of the object or that character will take damage. This is
so easy to do on accident while shooting a red explosive barrels since the
barrels have quite a blast radius. While playing the game in co-op you really
need to respect your partner and not diminish their faith in you by shooting a
red explosive barrel to take out a Majini mob that they are caught in the
middle of.
______________
MELEE ATTACKS \________________________________________________________________
________________________ Enemy Stances Through Gunfire ________________________
Both Chris and Sheva can perform each of their own unique physical attacks by
hitting an enemy in a certain portion of the body with a gun or the knife to
make the enemy perform a specific stun animation. Run up to the enemy during
that stun animation and press the Action button when the button prompt appears
to perform the melee attack command showcased on the screen. Below, we shall
take a look at the variety of stun animations that an enemy can be forced into
along with how to achieve the animation.
----------------------
Majini Stun Animations
----------------------
(NOTE: Sometimes these stuns require two shots in the affected area, mainly
with the upper arm shots)
--> Shot in head from back or front
Stun animation(s):
.---------------------------------------------.
| Grab face and stumble backward |
| Grab face and stumble forward |
| Grab face and stumble slightly backwards |
| Grab face and look downward and to the side |
| Look downward and to the side |
'---------------------------------------------'
Comments: This stun comes in a variety of different animations. The staggering
stun is the longest yet other head stuns where the Majini remains still are
quite short.
This particular stun can be hard to realize sometimes thanks to the many
different animations associated with it. Not all of the head stun animations
involve the Majini staggering in a direction, so be sure to pay attention to
the way the Majini reacts and keep the list above in mind.
--> Shot in upper arm from back or front
Stun animation(s):
.-----------------------------------------------------------------.
| Flinch to right and grab arm |
| Flinch to left and grab arm |
| Lean forward and grab right arm (shot in right arm from behind) |
| Lean forward and grab left arm (shot in left arm from behind) |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------'
Comments: This is one of the harder stuns to get since stronger Majini usually
take multiple shots in the upper arm in order for them to strike this pose.
This stun doesn't last that long, so react quickly with your melee attack
afterwards.
You have to basically aim for the bicep or elbow area. Shooting a Majini from
the front portion of the arm will make it flinch and shooting a Majini from the
back of the arm will make it lean forward. It's best to shoot the unequipped
arm since a shot toward an arm that is holding a weapon will usually only
stagger the Majini and make it drop its currently equipped weapon. Usually the
left arm is the best choice for the most part but there are certain weapon
wielders that are best shot in the right arm. For Majini with two-handed
weapons, shoot them in the left arm since the right arm is their main grasping
arm for the weapon.
--> Leg Stuns
- Shot in upper leg from back or front:
Stun animation(s):
.------------------------------.
| Bend down and grab right leg |
| Bend down and grab left leg |
'------------------------------'
Comments: This stun last just about as long as a head staggering stun giving
your character plenty of time to hit the Majini.
- Shot in lower leg from back or front:
Stun animation(s):
.---------------.
| Fall to knees |
'---------------'
Comments: A Majini will recover rather quick from a lower leg stun when
compared to an upper leg stun, so be sure to follow up with an attack quickly
after this one.
--> Shot while running/Knocked down by melee attack from back or front
Stun animation(s):
.----------------.
| Fall to ground |
'----------------'
Comments: Hitting a Majini in just about any part of the body while they run
will usually make them fall. A Majini will usually stay grounded for quite a
while. Remember that if they don't dissolve then they are still alive.
--> Stagger/Bounce from back or front
- Shot in upper arm + melee then bouncing melee attack from behind
Stun animation(s):
.-------------------------------------------------.
| Stagger backwards from an arm stun melee attack |
'-------------------------------------------------'
Detailed Example: Hit a Majini with either Chris' hook or kick attack from an
arm stun then have Sheva hit the stumbling Majini back with a kick or knee (in
this case from behind). The character that starts this sequence on a Majini
will receive a hidden melee command when the Majini bounces back toward that
character.
Always remember that the Majini must be bounced back from the opposite side, so
let's say if Chris performs a kick from behind a Majini then Sheva must perform
a Twist Kick from the front to bounce it back toward Chris. If either Chris or
Sheva hit a Majini from the same side that was used to begin the melee sequence
then that character will perform their head stun melee attack (straight or
roundhouse), which will instantly end the sequence and bring about much woe for
the character that wanted the special command.
Comments: This stun lasts about as long as a lower leg stun (crouching
animation), but the enemy will begin the stun by staggering in a direction then
that Majini will stand in place while stunned for a few seconds, so be sure to
run quickly to get in your melee attack.
- Partner Assist Melee + bouncing melee from behind
Stun animation(s):
.-----------------------------------------------.
| Stagger backwards from a partner assist melee |
'-----------------------------------------------'
Detailed Example: If Chris saves Sheva from a Majini that has grabbed her
through Chris' partner assist melee attack (overhead punch) then Sheva can
sometimes quick turn and run behind the staggering Majini then knee it back
toward Chris. Chris can make use of the same sequence by quickly kicking a
Majini back toward Sheva after she has performed a roundhouse to knock one off
of him.
Comments: This stun is best performed on a full health Majini and one that is
stronger than some of the weak Majini found in the early stages. A Majini will
NOT always stagger from a partner assist melee, but if you are the one being
saved and you see the Majini stagger backward, quickly try to make use of the
situation by running behind it and meleeing it back toward your partner. The
camera is the main aspect that can mess up this sequence for the character
being saved since the Majini will stagger behind that character.
Just like with a normal bounce, a Majini must be bounced back from the opposite
side that it was hit from.

TAG TEAM MELEE TIPS \__________________________________________________________
--> Tips for performing Tag Team Melee Attacks in Co-op mode
1) When the second (bouncing) melee attack is performed, the enemy might
stagger to the side, in a case such as this, you can perform either of the
co-op melee attacks listed above by running to the front or back of the
staggering enemy in order to get the button prompt. Keep in mind that you
must activate the command before the staggering animation ends however.
2) When your partner is grabbed by a Majini, run up to the embraced pair and
quickly equip the knife then slash the Majini in the middle portion of its
body. Not only will you save your partner with only minor damage to the
Majini, but you'll most likely slash the Majini in the arm to stun it and
set it up for a co-op melee attack. It's best for your partner to start
the sequence since that character will be the closest to the Majini.
3) If you find that a Majini is moving away from your character and you want
the Majini to face your way, taunt the Majini (LS + RS/L3 + R3) to get it
to turn. Sometimes you have to taunt a few times to get its attention.
--> Easily set up a Tag Team Melee with other players
1) Arm a machine gun and aim toward a Majini's arm then tap the trigger button
once in an attempt to stun the Majini. This is a bit less damaging than a
handgun.
2) After stunning a Majini with an arm stun, if your characters are not in the
the proper placement for bouncing it back and forth with melee then quickly
run behind it and perform your character's back melee attack to bounce it
toward the other character and set it up for the sequence.
3) Want to trick a new person online into helping you out with co-op melee
attacks? If you notice that the partner performs melee attacks whenever a
Majini is next to their character then trick them into helping you:
a) Simply make sure that your partner is near then let a Majini approach
both of you and then quickly shoot the Majini in the arm then run
behind it and knock it toward your partner. The partner will most
likely take the initiative to perform the melee attack that bounces the
Majini back toward you, giving you the special command.
b) Run up to a Majini that has grabbed your partner then slash the Majini
with your knife in the midsection for a usual arm stun. DON'T PERFORM
THE MELEE YOURSELF! Allow your partner to bounce the Majini with the
melee command. Your partner will get a melee button prompt on the
so that player is most likely to perform it right then. Simply bounce
the Majini back toward your partner and that partner might accidentally
perform their special melee!
c) Whenever you witness your partner hit a Majini with an upper arm melee
attack, quickly run behind the Majini to bounce it back toward your
partner.
(d) Use partner action commands to order your partner to stand in place.
This won't always work. This is most useful for a single Majini. Here's
the way I've done it before:
Chris: "Wait! Wait!"
[Chris walks toward Majini and lures it out while backing up]
[Sheva aims her gun]
Chris: "Wait! Wait!"
[Sheva lowers her gun while Chris aims, shoots it in the arm then
runs behind it and kicks it toward Sheva. Sheva responds with a
Twist Kick as Chris was hoping for. The gods shine down upon Mr.
Redfield as he steps forward and delivers the ultimate answer to the
Majini threat.]
Chris: Thanks! (Thank you, my tool.)
All jokes aside, by setting up a Majini for a co-op attack with new
players, they might catch on eventually. There was one time where one
player actually did realize what I was doing and allowed me to set the
sequence up for that player.
(e) For extra info about using partner action commands while playing online
make use of the following and your partner might catch on:
- "Go" command = Use this while a Majini is coming toward you to tell
your partner to get behind the Majini.
- "Come on" command = (1) Use this to call your distant partner behind
a Majini while the partner is a long distance away. (2) This can
also be used to tell your partner to knock a Majini that you have
stunned toward you with a melee attack so you can knock it back.
(3) After knocking a Majini toward your partner, use this command to
encourage your partner to knock it back toward you. The latter
actually works well against random online players sometimes.
- "Wait" command = Use this if your partner is about to shoot the
Majini to make the partner lower the gun.
- "Thank" command = This is the ultimate way to build up encouragement
while playing online. After a successful co-op melee, thank your
partner. If your partner is clueless to the co-op melees that you
just tricked them into helping you with, then they might catch on
because of your gratitude.
--> Performing a Tag Team Melee in Single Player mode
It's really not hard at all to set up a tag team melee attack in single player
mode. You just have to know the way that your AI partner will work and that is
one thing I will show you here so you can start Haymakering and Back Handing
your own Majini too in single player! This is not meant just for fun, it is
actually very effective in Veteran mode. Veteran mode is the best mode to
obtain these tag team melees in since the Majini have more health allowing them
to survive the full sequence and possibly multiple attempts.
You see, the AI has to follow certain rules that a single player can take
advantage of:
1) The AI partner will most likely NOT melee attack a Majini that the main
player stuns. The AI partner will usually only attack a Majini that the
actual AI partner has stunned.
2) An AI partner will bounce back any Majini that is knocked toward that AI
character. No matter if that character is shooting or what, that character
will knock back any Majini that the main player stagger their way.
3) When a "Go" command is issued, the AI partner will always step a few steps
in front of the main player then turn to face that player regardless whether
an enemy is in the area or not. The AI partner will usually stop whatever
it is doing and run in front of the player then turn to face the player.
Do I see a light bulb yet? That third listing should have sparked something.
Did it?
Here are three ways to trick the AI partner into helping out with a Tag Team
melee attack:
1) Have the AI partner near your character then shoot a Majini in the arm for
an arm stun. Directly after the arm stun, issue a "Go" command to your AI
partner while facing the Majini. The AI partner will quickly step behind
the Majini and give a little space in between that AI partner and the
Majini. Wait just a slight second for the AI partner to get in the back of
the Majini then perform the first melee attack from the arm stun to knock
the Majini toward your AI partner. If the AI partner is still behind the
Majini, the AI partner will automatically bounce the Majini back toward your
character with a back melee. Once the Majini staggers back toward your
character, you will receive the special tag team melee command which you can
change by quickly stepping in front of or behind that staggering Majini.
The above method works like a charm once a player gets used to it. I can do
them in single player about 60% of the time with this method.
2) Perform an arm stun on a Majini while the AI partner is behind your
character or nearby, preferably busy shooting another Majini. Quickly run
behind the Majini that is stunned with an arm stun and knock it toward the
AI partner with a melee and the AI partner might respond with a follow-up
melee to knock it back toward your character, giving you the special tag
team command.
Your miles will definitely vary with the second method, but it's good to keep
it in mind.
There is also one more method where one can actually get the AI partner to
perform their own tag team melee.
3) Whenever you see the AI partner perform a melee after an arm stun that the
AI partner has done itself, QUICKLY run behind the Majini that the AI
partner has hit and knock it back toward the AI partner. The AI partner
will almost always be standing and waiting and if the AI partner is still
nearby after your character knocks the Majini back then the AI partner will
automatically perform the tag team melee depending on the side the AI
partner faces when the Majini staggers back toward the AI partner.
As you can see, I really enjoy performing tag team melees and exploiting the
computer AI in order to help me. This is NOT hard at all, you just have to
understand the way the AI partner will work and try this out yourself. I do
tag team melees for fun, not for trophies or achievements. It's all about the
challenge in performing them that excites me! Like I said earlier, they are
also very effective in Veteran mode.
___________________
DISARMING AN ENEMY \___________________________________________________________
Aim at the arm and/or the hand that an enemy is using to hold a weapon and
shoot the arm or hand to make the enemy drop the weapon. For two-handed
weapons, you'll have to hit the main arm that the enemy grapples the weapon
with - pay attention to the arm that the enemy continues to hold the weapon
with after a swing and shoot that arm. The enemy will usually take one arm off
the weapon eventually showcasing their main gripping arm (the one still holding
the weapon).
Enemies can also be disarmed through melee attacks and also from knocking them
down. Sometimes knocking an enemy down will not disarm the enemy however.
If an enemy is holding a glass bottle, your character can actually shoot the
glass bottle to break it. The bottle can be completely shattered with two
shots. You can simply make the enemy drop the bottle by shooting its arm, but
what fun would that be? Enemies with a glass bottle will break the glass
bottle by hitting your character also.
___________________
CRITICAL HEADSHOTS \___________________________________________________________
Shooting an enemy directly in the head with any weapon will sometimes
automatically make the enemy's head explode regardless of how much damage the
enemy has sustained. This technique is known as a "Critical Headshot". AI
Sheva will comment on Chris' outstanding shot if you manage to perform this
while she is nearby and you can comment on this when another player does this
by tapping the Assist button seconds after the player performs a critical
headshot.
NOTE: A headless enemy still has the potential to attack your character. For
instance, if an enemy is beginning an overhead swing with a pipe and his head
is popped then that pipe swing can still hit your character. The chance is
smaller than in RE4 however where a headless enemy could literally run toward
Leon and choke slam him.
______________________
PARTNER COMMUNICATION \________________________________________________________
--> What's so effective about communicating with your partner?
Well, in a single player game it becomes a necessity if you want to receive
help from your partner. For instance, while your character is held in place
with a grab, an AI partner will sometimes not knock off the attacking enemy
until your character issues the command for help by tapping the Assist button;
at that time your AI partner will instantly knock off the enemy.
In a co-op game, your partner is not always going to use voice chat; some will
not have a mic, some might prefer not to use one, and some might not speak
English, so communicating via button commands becomes much more important.
There are a few other communication methods that can be used besides the
standard B button press as well such as pointing with the laser point on your
gun.
--> The Partner Assist Button (O or B)
The partner assist button will normally call your partner toward your
controlled character when the button is pressed. Here is the list of commands
that can be issued.
(NOTE: In Single Player mode, only the Cover and Attack commands may be issued)
.--------------------------------------------------------------.
| Actions Performed With Assist | Type of Assist |
| Button | |
|==============================================================|
| Tap | Cover |
| Hold and up on the D-pad | Attack |
| Hold and left on the D-pad | Thank |
| Hold and right on the D-pad | Come Here |
| Press RS and LS or L3 and R3 at | * Extra animation (taunt) |
| the same time | |
| Tap B or O after certain | ** Additional Response |
| animations | |
'--------------------------------------------------------------'
* This particular animation will not affect the AI partner. Most gamers see it
as a taunt animation but it could be used to call over a partner as well in co-
op play.
** Certain animations include the following:
Tap (or tap and hold) the Assist button during these specific animations to
have your character respond:
- when an enemy has grabbed your character
- while your character is in dying status
- while your character is in a ready state, waiting on the other player to
perform an assist action (while vaulting to an area)
- when your character runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY
INVENTORY WEAPON)
- partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner
handgun or rifle shot - the shot MUST BE the random critical headshot)
- partner gives your character an item
- partner heals your character
- partner resuscitates your character
- partner helps to break a grab (even a slight nudge that breaks the hold)
- partner is in dying status
- partner performs a request
- partner performs an action command
- partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
- partner performs an action command while your character is in an enemy
hold or unable to comply (single player only - AI partner responds to main
character)
- partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
- partner melee attacks an enemy with a special co-op melee attack
- partner melee attacks an enemy that you have knocked off the partner with a
partner assist melee attack.
----------
Cover/Call
----------
Command: Press Assist or Hold Assist then D-pad down (single player)
Press Assist or Hold Assist then D-pad right (co-op)
Your character waves his/her hand backward for the partner to come toward the
character or move back. In both modes, the character will shout "Come on". In
co-op mode, the command is changed to "Call" instead of "Cover".
--> Single Player:
While in Cover mode, your AI partner will always keep up with your main
character. The AI partner will be ready to heal your character, give that
character ammo, and knock off any enemies that grab your character (if you tap
the assist button) most of the time. The AI partner will not venture off to
itself and will usually only pick up items that are near your character.
--> Co-op
Use the Call command to get your partner's attention when you need the
character to move toward your character in order to pick up an item or simply
to join up with your character. This is a good command to use when you want to
give your partner an item or heal your partner. You can also use this if you
want your partner to follow your character to a certain location. Simply take
the lead and stop every now and then to issue the command.
---------------
Attack/Send Out
---------------
Command: Hold Assist then D-pad up
Your character shouts "Go!" then waves his/her hand forward to tell the partner
to move out. In co-op mode the command is changed to "Send Out" instead of
"Attack" but the command input stays the same.
--> Single player
The AI partner will scout ahead just a bit when this Attack command is issued.
The AI partner will separate from your character and battle the surrounding
enemies itself when a battle takes place. This can be a dangerous mode to have
the AI partner in since the character will not be near your character for
support unless the AI partner is called back with the assist button. The AI
partner is more likely to pick up items in the surrounding area while in this
mode, so be ready to request the items from the AI partner if that character
picks up something that you would like.
--> Co-op
Your character will shout out "Go!" normally which should let your partner know
to advance further. Use this when you want your partner to move on ahead or
move to another are. Simply face one way then perform this command over and
over.
This is perfect when you want to use your partner as bait to lead a certain foe
away from your character while attempting to shoot an enemy. It's most useful
against mid-boss type enemies, especially the Chainsaw Majini.
-----
Thank
-----
Command: Hold Assist then D-pad left.
Your character will nod and say "Thanks" to your partner.
--> Single Player
This action is not available in single player mode.
--> Co-op
It never hurts to thank your partner whenever your partner gives your character
some ammo, an item or heals your character. You could also be a sarcastic
bastard and tell your partner thanks after he/she sets off a trap that your
character gets caught in... Thank you for setting off that explosion right when
the nearby Majini grabbed my character. You sure showed him!
----
Halt
----
Your character shouts out "Wait" and holds up his/her arm then makes a fist for
the partner to hold the current position.
Command: Hold Assist then D-pad down
--> Single Player
This action is not available in single player mode.
--> Co-op
This is good to use when you need to catch up to the other player in order to
give that character ammo or heal that character or maybe you want to throw a
grenade up ahead to finish off a group of enemies instead of having your
partner charge in. You could also use this to possibly make your partner
cancel an action button prompt command as in a "No, I don't want to jump up
there" kind of way.
--------------------------------------
Pointing with your Gun's Laser Pointer
--------------------------------------
While playing online without voice chat, simply have a gun equipped and aim
with it then point at an object that you want to show your partner. This is an
excellent way to point them to ammo that you want your partner to pick up or
you might want to point out some hidden BSAA emblem or other object to your
partner.
On the flip side, if you ever see your partner standing in place and pointing
at an object with the gun's laser pointer, then have a look at what that
character is pointing at; you might be surprised.
---------------------------
Character Partner Responses
---------------------------
Command: Assist button during the actions listed below
NOTE: Comments that respond to commands, certain actions or an item given by
the partner must be initiated up to 3 seconds after the partner action is
performed or your character will simply toss out a normal command that will
look out of place.
.------------------- MAJOR TIP FOR PERFORMING A RESPONSE ---------------------.
| In order to keep your character from accidentally saying "Come on" press |
| and hold the assist button for about two seconds when you want your |
| character to respond. This is best done when you're unsure if you're |
| character will respond to a command or not, especially in the case of a |
| partner's critical headshot. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> When an enemy has grabbed your character
Chris: "Help!"
"Help me out here!"
Sheva: "I need your help!"
"Help me!"
--> While your character is in dying status
Chris: "Heeeelp me!"
"I'm not gonna' make it!"
Sheva: "I need heeeelp!"
"Help!"
--> While your character is in a ready state, waiting on the other player to
perform an assist action (while vaulting to an area)
Chris: "Sheva!"
"Come on!"
"Hurry!"
Sheva: "Chris!"
"Come on!"
"Hurry up!"
--> When your character runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY
INVENTORY WEAPON).
Chris: "I need ammo"
Sheva: "I need ammo"
--> While reloading (SINGLE PLAYER ONLY - AI partner performs this randomly)
Chris: "Reload!"
Sheva: "Reload!"
--> Partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner
handgun or rifle shot - the shot MUST BE the random critical headshot)
Chris: "Great shot!"
"Good work!"
"Nice work!"
Sheva: "Nice shot!"
"Good work!"
"Nice work!"
NOTE: In order to get a critical headshot, the partner must shatter the head of
the enemy instantly through gunfire. Critical headshots are random and they
look just like a normal head pop. You can get critical headshots with the
rifle even though it is a guaranteed headshot when aimed at the head. Most of
the time, a head explosion from a handgun is a critical headshot. You can only
respond to handgun or rifle critical headshots.
If you've ever unsure about a critical headshot either press and hold the
assist button or press down on the aiming button and the Assist button at the
exact same time to avoid saying "Come on". You can also try to enter any other
animation such as a reload, item pickup, gunshot, quick turn, or taunt when
your partner shatters a head then quickly press the Assist button. If your
character doesn't respond during any of those methods then it wasn't a critical
headshot and you won't accidentally issue a "Come On" action from out of
nowhere - accidentally saying "Come on" for no reason sort of shatters your
cool streak.
--> Partner gives your character an item
--> Partner heals your character
--> Partner resuscitates your character
--> Partner helps to break a grab (even a slight nudge that breaks the hold)
Chris: "Thanks for the help."
"Much appreciated."
"Thanks."
Sheva: "Thanks partner."
"I owe you one."
"Thanks."
--> Partner is in dying status
Chris: "I'm coming!"
"Hold on!"
Sheva: "I'm coming!"
"Hold on!"
--> Partner performs a request
--> Partner performs an action command
--> Partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
Chris: "Roger"
"Ok."
Sheva: "Roger."
"Ok."
--> Partner performs an action command while your character is in an enemy
hold or unable to comply (single player only - AI partner responds to main
character)
Chris: "I can't right now."
"Out of the question!"
"I'd rather not."
Sheva: "I can't right now!"
"Forget it!"
"You can't be serious!?"
--> Partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
--> Partner melee attacks an enemy with a special tag team melee attack
--> Partner melee attacks an enemy that you have knocked off the partner with a
partner assist melee attack.
Chris: "That'll work!"
"Good job!"
"Nice!"
Sheva: "Nice teamwork!"
"That's good!"
"Excellent!"
[Sheva has one African language response]
NOTE: While performing a tag team melee attack sequence, the person that
actually gets the chance to perform the tag team melee attack can quickly press
the Assist button to respond as the Majini staggers toward that character from
second melee attack in the sequence. Once the tag team melee attack is
performed then the partner that isn't performing the special melee command can
respond.
So basically when Chris knocks a Majini toward Sheva with a Hook then Chris can
respond right after Sheva's Knee melee attack. Once Chris performs the
Haymaker in that sequence, Sheva can respond to his tag team melee attack.
After a partner assist melee attack has been performed (during a Majini grab)
the partner that performed the partner assist melee attack can respond if the
partner attacks the bounced Majini with a normal melee attack - much like the
tag team attack bouncing response.
--> Single Player
The response for when an enemy has grabbed your character is very important to
use in a single player game. If the order is not issued, then your AI partner
will sometimes simply ignore your main character as the enemy continues the
hold most of the time. Using the assist button to call your AI partner toward
your main character during dying status is extremely useful as well.
Other than that single command, there is really no need to yell out a comment
during a single player game, but it does look kind of cool. It's as if AI
controlled Sheva and my player controlled Chris Redfield are more in-tune with
each other. We're partners now, my dear AI Sheva, till the end... now stop
taking my ammo and get your ass out of my way while I'm aiming.
--> Co-op
Even in co-op play, there is not too much use to comments outside of asking for
help when grabbed or in dying status. You've mainly got to rely on your
partner's knowledge of the game and skill - with these values in place, you
shouldn't have to ask for help that much at all. The comment commands can be
used to build up the confidence of your partner or just simply to show off your
knowledge (uber skillz) of the game.
----------------------------------------
Ordering Your Partner to Pick up an Item
----------------------------------------
(Single Player mode only)
Command: Assist button while standing over an item pickup (with Sheva nearby)
Phrases:
Chris: "Take it."
"You grab it."
Sheva: "You can have it."
"You take that."
The "Partner picks up" action command will appear while standing over an item
in single player mode while Sheva is nearby. This action tells your partner to
grab the item that your character is standing near. This can only be done in
single player mode and not co-op play.
NOTE: To unlock Sheva as a playable main character, all chapters must be
completed one time on any difficulty.
------------------------------------------------
Ordering Your Partner to Interact With an Object
------------------------------------------------
(Single Player mode only)
Command: Assist button while standing near an object that can be interacted
with
Phrases:
Chris: "Sheva!"
Sheva: "Chris!"
The "Command Partner" action command will appear while standing near an object
that your partner can interact with such as a bookcase that can be pushed in
front of a door or window. This is very useful for tense situations such as
barricading the building in the Public Assembly since Chris can order Sheva to
push a bookcase while he pushes the other. Like the action above, this can
only be done in single player mode and not co-op play.
_______________
THE PARTNER AI \_______________________________________________________________
(Single Player mode only)
The AI partner (Sheva in this case) has two possible modes of attack that it
can be set to:
--> Cover
* Equips least damaging weapon
* Stays near/follows Chris
* Attacks less often
* Automatically calls Sheva toward Chris (stops what she'd doing to join)
Cover mode detailed features:
While in cover mode, Sheva will always keep up with Chris. This is really the
best mode to keep her in most of the time.
- She will be ready to heal Chris most of the time if he is near death while
she has a green herb.
- She will quickly resuscitate Chris from dying status.
- She will almost instantly respond to a partner action command if a Chris
player presses the assist button while being grappled. If the assist button
is not pressed she will usually stand and watch and VERY RARELY perform a
partner assist melee attack to help Chris.
- Attack any type of enemy with a melee attack that causes it to stagger/bounce
then quickly run behind the enemy and Sheva will follow up with a melee
attack of her own while following. It IS POSSIBLE to trick her into helping
with a co-op melee attack sequence! It is also possible to make her perform
one by quickly running behind a staggering enemy that she has hit in order to
bounce the enemy back toward her.
--> Attack
* Equips her most damaging weapon
* Usually separates from Chris to take her own route
* Attacks more often
* Automatically sends Sheva out for attack (she will move ahead)
Attack mode features:
While in attack mode, Sheva will usually separate from Chris. The most
important tip I can give you for this mode is to have the mini-map open the
WATCH THE PURPLE ARROW CLOSELY. Sheva can be reckless during this mode, so
it's best to have an idea of her location.
- Sheva will move about and collect items in the area.
- Sheva will separate far away from Chris at times.
- Sheva will attack more aggressively.
Overall detailed features for both modes:
- Sheva will melee attack an enemy that SHE has stunned and she will melee
attack any enemy that has been bounced toward her.
- Sheva will quickly give up any weapon or item that can be requested from her.
--> Exploiting the AI into performing a follow-up a melee attack
So, let's say that your character just performed an arm stun melee. You can
get your AI partner (Sheva in this case) to perform a follow-up melee attack in
two ways:
1) Face the Majini that has been melee attacked then issue the "Go" command.
Sheva will instantly run toward that Majini if she is not preoccupied and
she will perform a follow-up melee attack upon making contact with the
Majini.
2) While Sheva is under the "Come On" (Cover) command, run by the Majini that
you have just melee attacked and Sheva will follow behind your character
then hit the Majini with a melee attack along the way. This is most
effective against boss type enemies that you want to double team such as the
Executioner or a Chainsaw Majini.
_________
TAUNTING \_____________________________________________________________________
Command: Push in on the left and right thumbstick at the same time
(R3 + L3/RS + LS)
Phrases:
Chris: (leans forward and motions with left hand) "Come on! Come on!"
Sheva: (leans forward and whistles)
Chris and Sheva have their own unique taunts that can affect enemy behavior.
When a taunt is used on an enemy that is focused on attacking another player,
the enemy will turn and focus its attention on the taunting player. This is
useful for luring an enemy out of a certain area and especially useful for
setting up a co-op melee attack.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Another way to perform a taunt is to push in on the right thumbstick and |
| hold it down then push in on the left thumbstick. This will keep a player |
| from having to press both thumbsticks down at the same time. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
__________
RELOADING \____________________________________________________________________
Command: With a gun equipped, hold the Aiming button to aim then tap the
Run button to reload your currently equipped gun.
So long as you have ammo, your character will reload the current weapon. The
reload animation can be cancelled early by performing a melee attack during the
animation. See the Advanced Techniques section further below.
NOTE: You can also reload through your inventory. Choose the appropriate ammo
for a gun in your arsenal then choose to combine the ammo with the gun. You
can also press the action button while highlighting the ammo in the inventory
then move it over the gun and press the action button again for quick combine
instead of cycling through the menu options. You can actually pull up the
inventory and quickly reload during many character animations such as a melee
attack. See the Advanced Techniques section for more details on this.
________________
COMBINING ITEMS \______________________________________________________________
Choose an item from the inventory menu then press the confirm button and then
use the "Combine" command to combine it with another item. The green herb and
red herb may be combined for a full healing spray or two green herbs can be
combined for a moderate healing spray.
It is also possible to combine ammo with guns like in the classic RE titles.
Select the ammo then combine it with the proper weapon to reload it via the
inventory. Remember that you have select the AMMO first and not the gun.
Selecting the gun first will only rearrange the placement of the gun and ammo,
while selecting the ammo first will combine the two for a reload if the gun
needs reloading. If the gun doesn't need reloading then the items will swap
slots.
___________
FAST EQUIP \___________________________________________________________________
Command: D-pad Up, Right, Down and Left
Upon opening your inventory, notice that the top center, bottom center, right
center and left center inventory slots all have arrows on them. The arrows
represent the D-pad direction that you can push to equip the item in that slot.
You can place weapons, items or ammo in the slots then press the corresponding
D-pad direction during gameplay to quickly equip that item. You'll more than
likely want to place guns in these slots, but you can also place grenades or
other items in these slots to help out as well.
_______________________
MOVING INVENTORY ITEMS \_______________________________________________________
When the inventory menu is open, highlight any item then press the Action
button to select it. Once selected, move the item to an empty slot and press
the Action button again to drop the item into the slot. This is very useful
for placing items onto fast equip slots.
___________________
DISCARDING AN ITEM \___________________________________________________________
In the inventory menu, highlight an item then press the Run button to pull the
command menu and select "Discard". Once an item is discarded, it will be
permanently deleted from your inventory menu, so be careful what you discard.
Any item including weapons can be discarded.
_______________________________
DISPLAYING PARTNER'S INVENTORY \_______________________________________________
Command: Map button while your inventory is displayed
While displaying your character's inventory, press the Map button to display
your partner's inventory. From this menu, you can request items from your
partner by highlighting them and selecting the "Request" option. To hide your
partner's inventory once it is displayed, press the Map button again.
_____________
GIVING ITEMS \_________________________________________________________________
--> By opening the menu
An item can be given to your partner by opening up the inventory menu and
highlighting the item. Select the item and press the Run button to bring up a
menu then select "Give" and press the confirm button. A partner must be near
your character in order for the command to be successful. The give command
will not be highlighted if your partner is not close enough.
--> By equipping an item
Open up the inventory menu and equip an item such as ammo, a green herb, or a
grenade. Run up to your partner while they are nearby and the "Give" command
will appear in a button prompt (Assist button). Press the Assist button that
is displayed next to the Give command and your character will hand over the
item to your partner. The only items that cannot be given to your partner
through this method is a gun weapon - you'll have to use the alternative method
listed above for giving a weapon. This method is really more useful during a
co-op game since your partner might not always stand near your character as you
open your inventory menu.
** NOTE: You can give and receive weapons from you partner in single player
mode, but no weapons can be given or received during online co-op play.
Weapons can be given or requested in offline co-op play however.
--> Giving Ammo
Whenever ammo is given to your partner, the amount of ammo handed over depends
upon the type of ammo. There is no way to switch the amount given to a greater
or lesser number. Here is a table that illustrates the amount of ammo given
per give command.
.------------------------.
| Shotgun Shells = 10 |
| Rifle Ammo = 10 |
| Handgun Ammo = 30 |
| Machine Gun Ammo = 100 |
| Grenade Rounds = 6 |
| Magnum Ammo = 6 |
'------------------------'
______________________________
YOUR PARTNER'S AVAILABLE AMMO \________________________________________
If you look to the left (or right with Sheva players) of your partner's life
gauge a number next to a bullet icon shows how much ammo the partner has in
that partner's inventory for the currently equipped weapon (the ammo inside the
currently equipped weapon doesn't count). This can help you to see how much
ammo your partner has left over in reserve and if you need to give your partner
any extra ammo.
________
HEALING \______________________________________________________________________
--> Healing items and Herb combinations
The following herbs and healing items yield the following results when used:
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Rotten Egg | -50% health for one character |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Green Herb | Light health recovery for one or both |
| | characters |
|---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------|
| White Egg | Light health recovery for one character |
|---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------|
| Green Herb + Green Herb Mixture | Moderate health recovery one or both |
| | characters |
|---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------|
| Brown Egg | Moderate health recovery for one |
| | character |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Gold Egg | Full health recovery for one character |
|---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------|
| Red Herb + Green Herb Mixture | Full health recovery for one or both |
| | characters |
|---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------|
| First Aid Spray | Full health recovery for one or both |
| | characters |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Use the inventory to combine a green herb with another green herb or a red
herb.
--> Healing your character
In order to heal your character, open up the inventory menu then equip a green
herb or other healing item. While holding the item, press the Action button to
heal yourself. You can also, simply choose "Use" after selecting an item.
--> Healing your partner/Group healing
Healing your partner is done the same way as healing yourself by equipping or
using the healing item, but your partner must be near so that the "Restore
Health" command changes to the "Heal Partner" command. Your character will
spray the partner with the healing substance and both characters will benefit
from the healing mixture. It is almost always best to find your partner and
perform a team healing instead of healing yourself, unless you are near death
and your partner is not in the immediate location of course.
--> Healing with an Egg
In order to heal with an egg, equip the egg then use the "Eat" command. Eggs
only replenish the user's health and not the partner's health. The animation
for eating an egg is slightly longer than an herb or first aid spray healing
animation. Also, keep in mind that the rotten egg will take away health, so
don't eat it. A rotten egg can be equipped and thrown at an enemy for 2,000
points worth of damage.
_____________
DYING STATUS \_________________________________________________________________
In Resident Evil 5, the "Danger" status from the old Resident Evils has been
replaced by a status known as "Dying". When your character is hit by an attack
that places them in extremely low health, a cutscene will play for both
characters to see as the character receives the near fatal blow and that
character will yell out a phrase that insinuates that the character is close to
death, such as "I'm not gonna' make it". A reddish glow will appear on the
dying player's screen and the partner will be alerted to that character's
location by a red target mark when that character is targeted. The dying
character will not be able to perform any type of commands or access the
inventory; the dying character can only stagger slowly in one direction.
The partner must run toward that character and heal the character with the tap
of the Assist button when the "Resuscitate" command appears while standing next
to the dying character. One of two heals will take place:
--> Heal through a recovery item
If your character currently has an herb or other recovery item in the inventory
then the recovery item will automatically be used to heal both characters like
normal.
Unlike the normal resuscitation through an adrenaline boost shot, your
characters are NOT invincible during this green herb healing animation and the
heal is NOT instant. So say if the Executioner takes a swing at both of you
while you're healing your partner in front of him, well, then its all over
thanks to the lack of invincibility through a recovery item heal.
Basically, make sure that all threats are away from the dying character or
you'll both suffer the consequences. Also, keep in mind that if you press the
button prompt to heal with a recovery item when the partner's life is extremely
low, your character may pull out the health item and begin to spray but the
healing item effect will not kick in quick enough; the partner will die as the
spray hits him/her.
The only real plus side to a recovery item heal is that both character will
benefit from that item's recovery feature.
--> Heal through adrenaline boost shots (Resuscitation)
If your character does not have an herb, then your character will grab the
dying character's shoulder and quickly give the dying character a shot of
adrenaline to boost that character back into action. This shot will not
restore as much health as an herb but the adrenaline boost shots are infinite!
Always drop everything and rush to your partner's rescue when the partner is in
a dying state. If a character is hit by an enemy attack during a dying state
then that character will automatically die. The character's remaining health
is constantly lowering while in a dying state and if that character is left
unhealed for too long then the character will automatically die from full loss
of life. When one character dies then the game is over for both characters on
both single and co-op play. If both characters enter the dying state around
the same time then the game will automatically end since neither can perform
commands.
During single player mode, it is best to keep your partner in "Cover" mode to
make sure that the partner keeps up with your character so whenever either of
you enters the dying state, then the other will not be far off. This will help
you to resuscitate each other much more easily. During co-op play, you need to
always have an idea of where your character is through the mini-map so your
character can resuscitate at a moment's notice. If you can't find your partner
then use the lock-on button to immediately lock-on to that character's location
in order to pinpoint the precise location of that character.
_____
GUNS \_________________________________________________________________________
This is just a general gun list with a brief look at the most common gun types
in Resident Evil 5. A description of each gun type is located in the weapons
section.
--> Handgun
Max Ammo Per Inventory Slot: 50
Ammo Variety: Handgun Ammo
Controls:
Fire: Hold Aim button + tap Fire button
Reload: Hold Aim button + tap Run button
The Handgun is really one of your best weapons. The ammo for it is very
common, it packs quite a punch per shot and it can easily set enemies up for a
melee attack if the enemy is shot in a specific area of the body. The only
real flaw is that it is not as good as the other weapons when fighting a group,
but you can really diminish that weakness by setting up an enemy for a melee
attack with a single shot then rushing in with a melee attack to knock down or
stagger the entire group.
--> Shotgun
Max Ammo Per Inventory Slot: 30
Ammo Variety: Shotgun Shells
Controls:
Fire: Hold Aim button + tap Fire button
Reload: Hold Aim button + tap Run button
As usual the shotgun has more power from close range and less power from long
range. It's quite surprising how useful it can be from long range if you're
aiming is precise however. The shotgun's spread fire makes it the best choice
for a crowd of enemies. Aim for a normal enemy's head and you'll quite
frequently blow that enemy's head clean off with a single shot.
--> Rifle
Max Ammo Per Inventory Slot: 30
Ammo Variety: Rifle Ammo
Controls:
Fire: Hold Aim button + tap Fire button
Zoom: Hold Aim button + move right thumbstick up (zoom in) or down (zoom out)
Reload: Hold Aim button + tap Run button
When it comes to precision aiming from a distance, the rifle is your absolute
best choice. The rifle packs quite a punch per shot and can shoot through
multiple enemies that are standing in a line. Aim for the head of a normal
enemy to get a guaranteed head explosion per shot. Thanks to its damage, its
actually very useful from close range. The main flaws with this weapon is its
lengthy reload time (which can be solved through inventory reloading) and
limited vision while in scope mode.
--> Machine Gun
Max Ammo Per Inventory Slot: 150
Ammo Variety: Machine Gun Ammo
Controls:
Fire: Hold Aim button + tap Fire button
Auto-fire: Hold Aim button + hold Fire button
Reload: Hold Aim button + tap Run button
The Machine Gun lets loose a rapid fire that can easily spam a single or group
of enemies with gunfire rather easily. It eats through ammo fast, but simply
spraying this weapon over a crowd leaves a little bit of love for everyone -
basically, every hit staggers a normal enemy, so a simple rapid fire while
waving this weapon in front of a crowd will stagger all of them thanks to the
extremely fast rate of fire. This weapon eats through ammo very quickly and
its reload time is rather lengthy, so be sure to change to another weapon
quickly if an enemy is still nearby when the weapon is low in ammo.
Much like the handgun, this weapon can easily stagger an enemy to set the enemy
up for a melee attack. You need to learn to simply tap the trigger if you want
to take advantage of this technique though. Did you ever use the TMP in
Resident Evil 4? It was a pretty good substitute for a handgun much like the
Machine Gun can be in Resident Evil 5 if used properly.
When using this weapon against a group of enemies, spray them with gunfire to
stun them all then run up and melee attack one of the enemies that is in a stun
pose that will give your character a melee attack prompt.
--> Magnum
Max Ammo Per Inventory Slot: 150
Ammo Variety: Magnum Ammo
The Magnum lets loose an extremely powerful and damaging blast per shot fired.
It can usually penetrate multiple foes (that stand in a row) and armor with its
piercing properties and is the most effective gun for hitting a bosses weak
point when a precise shot can be made. Magnums can also be a very powerful
long range weapon when aimed properly.
The only real flaw with the magnum is that its ammo is not always readily
available like other weapons. Magnums also have a lower rate of fire equal to
that of the shotgun but the damage more than makes up for it.
--> Grenade Launcher
Max Ammo Per Inventory Slot: 12
Ammo Variety: Acid Rounds, Electric Rounds, Explosive Rounds, Flame Rounds,
Flash Rounds, Nitrogen Rounds
A grenade launcher can be equipped with quite a variety of different rounds and
is best used against grouped enemies since each ammo type produces a spreading
effect that will damage an entire group. Each round has its own specific uses
for each specific enemy type. Explosive Rounds are best used for normal
enemies while Flash Rounds will instantly stun normal enemies or defeat a whole
group of parasitic enemies much like a flash grenade. Flame Rounds produce a
burning effect like an incendiary grenade, electric rounds stun targets with
electricity, and Nitrogen rounds will actually freeze most normal enemies,
allowing one to shatter the frozen enemy with another weapon or a melee attack.
________________
TIPS AND TRICKS \______________________________________________________________
----------
Co-op tips
----------
- Know where your partner is at all times, and be ready to help out. Use the
partner locator button to auto target your partner's location. It is so very
important to have an idea of the your partner's location. Remember that if
your partner dies, the game is over for both players.
- Whenever you see an item that you would rather have your partner pick up
(your inventory is filled), stand and aim directly at the item and remain
still. Your partner should get the message that you want them to pick up the
item. If they don't then grab it and give it to them later or try to get your
partner's attention through an assist command.
- Use partner commands a bunch if you don't have a headset. Partner commands
are there for a reason, so use them. If your partner runs away from an item
that you want them to collect then keep standing in place and calling them back
with the assist button. Like I said above, aim down at the item and point at
it with your laser pointer if your partner still doesn't get the picture.
- When you have an extra item that you have no use for, such as Machine Gun
ammo when you don't have a Machine Gun, equip the item then run toward your
partner and tap the B button when the "Give" button prompt appears to give your
partner the ammo.
- When you go to heal your character, make sure that your partner is nearby so
that they will benefit from the heal.
- If your partner is shooting a Majini, don't aim for the same Majini and shoot
it, since your partner might opt for a melee attack that you might screw up by
shooting the same Majini during a stun animation. Would you let your fellow
partners have their moments too?
- Make sure that your partner is far enough away from a hazardous object before
shooting the object. Red explosive canisters have gotten a much greater blast
radius when compared to other Resident Evils. If you hit me with an explosion
online then you damn well better heal me afterwards. If not, when the next
Majini grabs your character, I'll come to your rescue by tossing a grenade at
the Majini to break that bondage of love. I'll save you partner!
- If a character is performing precision aiming with a rifle then try to cover
that character by shooting any enemies that try to get near him/her.
- Just because a player keeps on getting hit and keeps entering the Dying state
doesn't always mean that they suck, they might just be trying harder than your
character, especially on Public Assembly. When I fight the Executioner, I'm
like a raging bull that must defeat him before Chris comments to Sheva about
Kirk and sometimes my plans backfire on me because of the pesky Majini that get
in the way which causes me to get hit... badly. All it takes is one Majini
grab or one badly timed reload followed by one hell of a kerplunk from the big
man himself to enter the Dying state in the Public Assembly.
------------------
Single Player Tips
------------------
- In single player mode, whenever your character performs a partner assist
melee while the AI partner is being attacked by a Majini, quickly issue the
"Go" command while facing the staggering Majini to make the AI partner run up
and hit it with a second melee attack. The "Go" command can also be issued
after hitting a boss enemy with a melee to make the AI partner perform a
follow-up melee. This technique can also be done after hitting a Majini with
an arm stun melee attack. This little exploit of the AI partner can go a long
way in helping the main player.
- If your character hits en enemy with a an arm stun melee attack, quickly run
toward the enemy and if the partner is set to "Cover" mode and following behind
your character then the AI partner will hit the enemy as it staggers backward
for a double team attack. This can also be used when fighting a strong enemy
such as the Executioner and Chainsaw Majini since all melee attacks cause them
to stagger.
- If you find that your AI partner is wasting too much ammo, simply request the
ammo from that character and leave that character with little ammo. Usually
the AI partner is better with heavier weapons, especially the rifle. The AI
partner tends to spam machine gun and handgun ammo.
- If you see the AI partner run toward a breakable object and you don't want
the partner to break it and take the item then run toward the object yourself.
The AI partner will back off and let your character break the object and have
the item.
- Request whatever items you need from your AI partner. Ask and you shall
receive! The only item that an AI partner will not give up is a weapon that
your character currently has in his/her own inventory.
- When a fallen transformer is on the ground, shoot it to make it unleash an
electric blast in its immediate area. The blast is mid range and the
transformer will electrify for a few more seconds after the electric blast for
short range damage. You can keep shooting the electrified transformer to keep
the short range electricity alive, or you can simply let it die down then shoot
it again for another mid range blast.
-------------------
Tips for Both Modes
-------------------
- Whenever an enemy is nearby, your character will look in that direction; use
this to help identify a nearby enemy location. Sometimes your character will
simply turn his/her head to look at a partner however.
- Always pull up you mini-map at the beginning of each stage. This will help
you to easily keep track of your partner in big areas.
- If you're having problems finding your partner then use the lock-on button to
find that character.
- Check your partner's amount of ammo for the currently equipped weapon, which
is displayed to the left of the partner's life bar. If they have 0 handgun
ammo and you have, I don't know, say around 85 handgun ammo, you might want to
share. This is more useful in co-op mode than in single player. You'll mainly
want to hand over secondary weapon ammo to AI Sheva since she doesn't aim
precisely with the handgun.
- When your partner knocks an enemy off of your character, immediately run
toward the staggering enemy and you might get a button prompt command for a
melee attack of your own. Double team! Sometimes the enemy will stagger to
where you can follow up, but sometimes the enemy will get knocked down through
the grab hold melee attack cancel - you could use that chance to hit the enemy
with a ground melee attack though.
- A knife slash will not cause a red explosive barrel to explode. This can be
useful to know for certain areas where breakable objects lie right next to
barrels.
- A partner melee attack button prompt (when a Majini grabs your partner) will
usually take priority over a normal stun prompt, so if you perform a stun to a
Majini and your partner is next to the stunned Majini while in a hold by
another Majini then the partner assist melee attack prompt will appear most
likely instead of "Straight" or whatever other character melee attack you're
about to perform.
- The best time to pull up the inventory while under pressure (such as Public
Assembly) is while your character is jumping through a window or performing
some type of other jump or while your character is performing melee attack.
Since your character is slightly invincible and stuck in a frame of animation
anyway, why not use that time to make some inventory adjustments.
- Pressing a direction in order to switch to another weapon during a gunshot or
reloading animation will usually take effect once the current gun animation has
completely ended.
- Any frame of a reload animation that is interrupted by an enemy attack no
matter how early or late will be successful. The enemy may take damage from
your character but the enemy can help out in ending the animation frames early.
- To intentionally interrupt a reload animation and get a full reload benefit,
shoot a Majini or other enemy until the enemy is stunned and ready for a melee
attack then run up to the enemy and perform a reload when the action command
button prompt appears. Right when your character starts the reload animation
quickly press the button to perform the melee attack during the reload
animation and the reload animation will be interrupted by the melee animation,
giving your character a successful reload with less frames + invincibility
through the melee attack!
- The same method of animation canceling can also be used to end gunshot
animation such as firing on the Executioner with the shotgun while he is
stunned then using the button prompt melee attack to end the shot animation
early.
- Want to destroy a wooden door fast? Shoot it twice with a handgun or machine
gun then kick it to break it. Not only will you look like a badass as you lay
the smackdown on that door, but you'll destroy it very quickly during intense
situations.

_______________________________
TRICKS AND ADVANCED TECHNIQUES \_______________________________________________
---------------
Frame Canceling
---------------
Both of the following techniques require your character to perform a melee
attack during the actual animation listed. The melee attack will cancel the
current action with the same results as if the full animation occurred. This
will also place your character into a temporarily invincibility frame thanks to
the usual invincibility during a melee attack. Both Chris and Sheva can take
advantage of these techniques shortly before performing any of their melee
attacks, including the ground melee hit and the partner assist melee attack
(hold breaker). Both of these methods are extremely useful during intense
fights.
--> Reload Frame Canceling
Make sure that the melee attack button prompt appears first then reload in
front of an enemy that is stunned. During any portion of the reload animation
hit the Action button to instantly end the reload animation and cancel into a
melee attack. The reload will still take place but the animation will be
cancelled early and this will give your character a full reload.
--> Gunshot Frame Canceling
This can really only be done effectively against tough enemies such as the
Executioner or the Chainsaw Majini. Run up to the enemy as the enemy is in a
stunned state and watch for the melee attack button prompt. Fire off a shot
with your weapon, preferably the shotgun or rifle then press the Action button
to cancel the shot animation and instantly perform a melee attack. This is
extremely useful against the Executioner since spamming him with gunfire is
what counts when trying to defeat him.
NOTE: In order for this to work, the RT or R1 button must be the gunshot fire
button. You cannot perform this cancel with Type A or C controls. If the X or
[] button is used to fire the shot then your character will automatically
perform a melee attack instead.
------------------------------------------------
Pulling Up Inventory During Character Animations
------------------------------------------------
Learn to take advantage of certain actions when pulling up the inventory menu.
The following actions will allow you to pull up the inventory menu while the
character is in the middle of the animation and most of these animations will
leave your character invincible to attacks.
- the moment when your character tosses off or receives a hit from a grappling
enemy
- after sustaining a hit
- while climbing a ladder
- while vaulting over an obstacle/jumping/jumping through a window
- while quick turning (NOT INVINCIBLE)
- in between gunshots (NOT INVINCIBLE)
- during a melee attack, ground melee or partner assist melee
- while reaching down to pick up an item
- while healing (NOT INVICIBLE)
- during reloading animations (NOT INVINCIBLE)
NOTE: The full animation for some of these instances must be fully finished
before an item can be equipped, but anytime during the animation, you can have
the "Equip" option ready to trigger as the animation ends. So, say if you jump
through a window, you can select an item and pull up the equip option, but you
can't actually equip the item until your character fully stands.
--> The Moment When Your Character Tosses Off or Receives a Hit from a
Grappling Enemy
The instant the animation triggers for when your character has either won or
lost the struggle against a grappling enemy, you can quickly pull up the
inventory during the remainder of that struggle.
--> After Sustaining a Hit
The moment your character gets hit take this time to cycle through the
inventory if needed since your character will have to recover regardless. Some
hits cause characters to stagger more than others, such as attacks from behind.
--> While Climbing a Ladder
Ladder climbing animation can be rather long, so pull up the inventory and
cycle through it if needed during the climb.
--> While Vaulting Over an Obstacle/Jumping/Jumping Through a Window
Pull up the inventory during the middle of a vaulting or jumping animation and
you can quickly manage items while the character is flying through the air or
recovering from the action. The animation of busting through a window that has
not been shot out is your best bet for taking advantage of this. Your
character will still be invincible for a slight second after landing from the
jump to give you time to cycle through the inventory.
--> While Quick Turning
The animation for a quick turn is rather fast, but you might have time to
quickly pull up the inventory and reload during the actual turn. Keep in mind
that you ARE NOT INVINCIBLE during this animation.
--> In Between Gunshots
This is best performed with the shotgun or rifle, and it's best to reload the
current weapon through inventory while attempting this. See "Reloading Through
the Inventory Menu" further below for more info on actually performing the
inventory reload. You can literally reload per shot fired if you're quick
enough. Never go through another reload animation again! Keep in mind that
you ARE NOT INVINCIBLE during this animation.
--> During a Melee Attack, Ground Melee or Partner Assist Melee
This will vary between the two characters thanks to their different melee
animations. The inventory menu can be pulled up directly after each melee
attack has been initiated which allows you to quickly move through the menu
while performing the invincible animation. Chris and Sheva's instant death
melee attacks (neck breaker and throat slit) are two of the best melee attacks
to use when pulling up the inventory during a melee animation, but any melee
attack can be taken advantage of in this way.
During a Partner Assist Melee, quickly pull up the inventory and equip some
ammo to give to your partner if you have extra ammo for a gun that they carry
or equip a green herb if the partner needs healing. This is the perfect time
to do so.
--> While Reaching Down to Pick up an Item
Equip the item almost instantly when it appears in inventory after picking it
up after pulling up the inventory during the item pickup animation!
--> While Healing
Whenever you perform a self or partner heal, pull up the inventory and cycle
through it if needed. Keep in mind that you ARE NOT INVINCIBLE during this
animation.
--> During Reloading Animations
Your character IS NOT INVINCIBLE during a reload animation, but unless you
cancel the animation through a melee attack, you're going to have to watch the
full animation, so why not take advantage of it and pull up the inventory menu
then cycle through it.
--------------------
Invincibility Frames
--------------------
These are frames of animation when your character is completely or partially
(during a certain point) invincible to any type of enemy attack. Your
character cannot be controlled once these animations have started up till the
point that they stop; the inventory menu can be pulled up during most of these
animations however - keep that in mind. Some of these obviously cause your
character to lose health, but the character can't be hit with any other attack
during that time.
Here's the full list of invincibility animations before I go into detail:
- While grabbing an item
- While jumping from a platform/vaulting over an object
- Giving an item
- Performing a melee attack
- While recovering from an attack
- Resuscitation (cannot pull up inventory during this)
- While grounded
- While on fire (burning animation)
- While electrified (shocking animation)
- While holding up arms to block debris from an explosion
- While performing a partner action (hoisting animations)
- Door kick animation
- During a hold, when your character is winning/losing the struggle
Now let's describe each of them:
--> Grabbing an Item
Both characters are invincible from the moment they reach down or forward to
grab an item up till the moment they recover from the animation and stand in
place. This actually gives use to picking up an unneeded item. Time a pickup
to when an enemy swings and the attack will go right through your character.
It's as if your character sees something shiny on the ground then reaches down
to grab it, unknowingly ducking an enemy attack.
- Types of Item Grabs:
Item on Ground - The character crouches down to pick up the item and then
stands back up. This is one of the most effective means of
dodging an enemy attack. When an area is littered with
grounded items, you can keep grabbing the items even as a
whole crowd of enemies surround your character and also use
the invincibility animation to quickly avoid a sudden lunge
or any other type of attack.
Item on shelf or other object - The character reaches to grab the item then
pulls his/her hand back. This animation is
much shorter than a ground item pickup
animation, so you don't really want to rely
on the invincibility animation here.
--> Jumping/Falling/Vaulting
From the moment that a jump/fall/vault command is issued, the character cannot
be hit during the animation but sometimes there are a few recovery frames at
the end of the movement that leaves the character open to attacks. Keep in
mind that all of these animation for each character will stagger an enemy if
the characters make contact with an enemy during the jump. All of them can
even break a hold!
- Types of Jumps
Long Jump - The character jumps and flies through the air then lands on
another platform. This one has some recovery animation at the
end of the jump that can get you hit so make sure that an enemy
is not approaching the area when your character goes to jump.
Lunge then Tuck and Roll - When your character jumps through a window that is
not broken, the character will bash into the glass
while performing a roll then land on the ground on
the other side. The interesting part about this
animation is that the character will actually
knock down any enemy that is in his/her path, so
you can follow this up with a ground melee. This
one has just as much recovery animation as the
long jump.
Vault - The character grabs the side of a wall or railing then hops over the
obstacle. This one can be interesting because of the wide swing of
legs to the side that the character will perform while hopping over
an object. The wide leg swing can stagger enemies rather well.
Drop - The character leans over then falls down a platform to the floor
below. This one has just as much recovery animation as the long jump.
--> Giving an Item
While a character is handing an item to a partner, the character is invincible
until the full animation ends. These are very short animations but these
should still be noted. Don't really rely on these, because much like healing
with an herb, the invincibility animation is a bit questionable.
--> Performing a Melee Attack
Both characters are invincible during certain frames of each of their melee
attacks. These also included assist button melee attacks that get an enemy off
of your partner. Some of the attacks cause recovery animation that leaves the
character open to attack but its usually not that much of a problem.
--> While Recovering from an Attack
Any time that your character is recovering from an attack, your character will
be completely invincible to other enemy attacks until they fully recover.
- Types of recovering positions
Slight Stagger - The character staggers forward or backwards a bit as a hit is
received.
Heavy Stagger - The character stumbles forward while ducking a bit and trying
to maintain the current standing position. Your character will
have quite a bit more invincibility frames with this recovery
when compared to the other.
--> Resuscitation
While performing a full resuscitation through an adrenaline boost when your
partner is in a "dying" state, both characters will be completely invincible
throughout the whole course of the animation. Healing with an herb still has
the same unreliable invincibility frames.
--> While Grounded
The moment a character is knocked down to the ground through an explosion or
being smacked upside the head with a shovel, that character is invincible while
on the ground and while getting up from the knockdown.
- While on Fire (burning animation)
While a character flails his/her arms and burns, that character is
invincible... from any other attacks.
- While Electrified (shocking animation)
While your character shakes while being electrified, the character is
invincible from any other attack. If you see an attack coming and you see a
live (electrified) transformer on the ground, then run into the transformer and
suffer minimal damage and the attack will pass right through your character.
If the Executioner begins to swing toward your character horizontally then you
can quickly electrify yourself to avoid being knocked into dying status.
- While Holding up Arms to Block Debris from an Explosion
When a character holds up his/her arms to block the debris rain from an
explosive barrel or grenade, that character is invincible while doing so. This
can be very helpful for the Chainsaw Majini.
- While performing a partner action (hoisting animations)
During the cutscenes where Chris helps Sheva over to another area, neither
character can be hit. The characters can be hit when one stands in place
without the other providing any sort of interaction however.
- Door Kick animation
During the brief animation of kicking a door, your character will have a few
frames of invincibility.
- During a Hold, When Your Character is Winning/Losing the Struggle
Whenever your character is grabbed and a thumbstick icon appears on the screen,
the grabbed character can still be hit by another grab up till the point where
your character suddenly wins or loses the struggle. If your character pushes
the enemy back or if the enemy wins the grab then your character is invincible
during those animations. Keep in mind that there are two different grabs for a
Majini (in front and behind) and one grab for a Kipepeo and they both have
invincibility frames at the end.
------------------------------------
Reloading Through the Inventory Menu
------------------------------------
- Pull up the inventory menu
- Select the desired ammo
- Combine the ammo with the proper gun that needs reloading for an instant
reload
Reloading via the inventory menu does not require your character to perform any
reloading animation and it is instant. This can also be done while in the
middle of melee attack or jump. It sure beats waiting through the long reload
animation of the rifle.
Since your cursor will always start in the middle slot on the inventory grid
for every time that you open the inventory menu, place the desired ammo in the
middle of the inventory grid then place the corresponding gun to the immediate
right, left, top middle or bottom middle slot, so you can quickly select the
ammo upon opening the menu then press in either of those four directions to
combine it quickly.
When you reload through inventory, use the action button to quickly combine the
ammo with the gun. For my setup, I always place shotgun or rifle ammo in my
middle inventory slot then place the shotgun or rifle to the left of that slot,
so basically, for every reload with the shotgun or rifle, I perform the
following button sequence:
Xbox 360 - Y, X, left, X, B (to cancel inventory)
PS3 - /\, [], left, [], O (to cancel inventory)
NOTE: Keep in mind that the aiming button will also cancel the inventory menu
and equip the currently selected item.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reloading from the Inventory Menu while Firing or Performing a Melee Attack
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While firing a weapon that has a slight delay in between shots such as the
shotgun or rifle, you can quickly pull up the inventory between shots and
reload by combining the ammo with the current gun before the firing animation
ends. This is extremely useful in tense situations such as fighting the
Executioner in the Public Assembly. Be sure to have the ammo in the middle
slot on the inventory grid then quickly select it then combine it with the
nearby gun. Using this technique, you won't even have to worry canceling the
reload animation with a melee attack or having any extra animation at all in
order to reload.
As already mentioned, you can reload through the inventory menu during a melee
attack as well. Depending on the length of the animation, reloading through a
melee attack is usually much easier than performing it during a gun blast AND
the character will be invincible during the full animation of the melee attack
so you have a slight edge if you accidentally screw up while cycling through
the inventory.
Both of these methods take some practice but they can lead to ultimate
aggression when the M37 shotgun is used!
--------------------------------------------------------
Equipping an Item by Holding the Aim Button in Inventory
--------------------------------------------------------
While the inventory menu is up, tap the Aim button while highlighting a gun or
item and your character will automatically equip that item without the need of
going through the text menu and the inventory menu will be canceled as your
character equips the item in real time. This can help out quite bunch for
quickly reloading from the inventory menu in tense situations since you might
want to quickly equip a gun after reloading through combining while you're on
the inventory menu, so simply hold the aiming button while equipping the
desired gun to immediately cancel the inventory menu and aim with the selected
weapon.
---------------------------------------------------
Immediate Lock-On and Fire When Partner is Grappled
---------------------------------------------------
Whenever your partner is grappled by an enemy, immediately press and hold the
lock-on button to face the partner then quickly aim while still holding the
lock-on button and then fire your gun. This will instantly lock-on and allow
you to fire off any enemy that grapples you partner much quicker.
----------------------
Quick Side Turn Aiming
----------------------
(Control types A and C only)
Command: While holding the right thumbstick to the right or left, press the Aim
button when a weapon is equipped.
Your character will quickly turn toward the viewpoint direction and aim when
the aiming button is pressed. This technique can be used to aim to the side
quickly. This is an old technique from Resident Evil 4.
------------------------------------------------
Immediate Melee Attack after Slashing With Knife
------------------------------------------------
(Control types A and C only)
Since Control types A and C share the attack button with the melee prompt
button, whenever your character is slashing an enemy with the knife, that
character will immediately melee attack the enemy if the button prompt appears
on the screen during the middle of the slashing.
This is most useful for knife runs. If you use Type B or D controls then
you'll have to constantly tap the Action button during slashes in order to
quickly perform a melee attack.
-----------------
Taunting an Enemy
-----------------
Command: Push in on the left and right thumbstick
I've already mentioned this in the Basics section under Partner Communication
but I want to stress it a bit more here. Taunting an enemy can be somewhat
useful while setting an enemy up for a trap such as a co-op melee attack.
Whenever a taunt is performed, an enemy will automatically switch its focus
toward the taunting character if the character is near the enemy.
Taunting doesn't always work extremely well. Sometimes an enemy will not turn
during a taunt. If it doesn't turn then get extremely close to the enemy and
it will turn eventually.
-----------------------
Knife Slashing an Enemy
-----------------------
Just like with the handgun or machine gun, the knife can easily set up an enemy
for a melee attack. Slash the enemy in the head, top portion of the body or
legs to possibly stun that enemy and set it up for a melee attack. The
slashing animation can be cancelled just like a gunshot animation if the button
prompt for a melee attack appears during the middle of a slash.
You can also work an enemy into a corner then simply knife slash the enemy to
death as the enemy continues to stagger into the wall after each slash. Try to
stand above an enemy that is getting up and face the enemy so that a wall is to
the enemy's back the start slashing when the enemy rises.
You might also want to knife slash a grounded enemy for a (sometimes) quicker
kill than a ground melee attack. Usually a ground melee attack works just as
well but a knife slash might not take as long to finish off a severely weakened
enemy instead of having to watch the full ground melee attack animation.
---------------------------------------------------------
Knife Slashing or Attacking an Enemy that Climbs a Ladder
---------------------------------------------------------
While an enemy climbs a ladder that is enemy is completely defenseless, so you
can easily shoot them to knock them off and they will take damage from the
fall. You can also position your character directly in front of the top
portion of the ladder and slash enemies with the knife when they attempt to
reach the top. This is another old technique from Resident Evil 4.
---------------------
Leaping into an Enemy
---------------------
Jumping into an enemy that is on the other side of an obstacle, other side of a
gap or below your character will knock the enemy down or stagger the enemy if
your character touches the enemy in any way while leaping. This can be used to
break a grapple that an enemy currently has your partner in or it can be used
to knock down the enemy for a ground melee attack. It can also be used to
stagger a group of enemies that are in a crowd on the other side of an
obstacle. My personal favorite use for this is to leap through a glass window
to knock an enemy down then follow that up with a melee ground attack.
Be careful while attempting this though, since your character will have some
slight recovery animation which allows enemies to move toward your character
and possibly attack before the recovery animation ends. Basically don't leap
toward an approaching enemy that you are not going to hit.
----------------------------
Kicking a Door into an Enemy
----------------------------
Come again? Okay, so this is not really an "Advanced" technique, but your
character can stand on the other side of a door and kick the door into an enemy
on the other side. This will damage the enemy just a bit. The door kick
attack is really more about having fun with enemies than anything else really.
If you're bored then try to kill an enemy with a door. As already mentioned
before, kicking a door will also make your character invincible during the full
door kicking animation as well.

===============================================================================
Hi, and welcome to the walkthrough section for my Resident Evil 5 guide. This
walkthrough will provide you, the reader, with a full detailed description of
the main game of Resident Evil 5. All item placements and breakable objects
have been described in their own separate sections as well as the main
walkthrough. Areas that may be investigated (examined for more details) are
labeled in the "Investigation" boxes. All treasure locations and BSAA medals
are pointed out in full detail in the actual writing and in lists spread
throughout the walkthrough. If a trophy/achievement can be gained in a certain
area, then it has been labeled for the reader as well.
Keep in mind that this walkthrough is meant for Normal mode and will be updated
for Veteran and a special separate walkthrough may be added for Professional
when I get around to it.
I really had a bunch of fun while writing this and hopefully that will show!
The anticipation for the game and writing for it were both extremely high.
Pure Resident Evil love is in the following text.
Please enjoy the walkthrough section.
-- Berserker
NOTE: Keep in mind that this walkthrough is NOT PROOFREAD yet, so you might run
into some caveman lingo or left out words ( Chapter 1-1 Ranking Table Random Item
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The slabs of meat in this room can be slashed with your knife and there are
plenty of other objects such as bottles, gas containers, boxes and cans that
can be knocked around as well. Go ahead, I know you want to! Leave the shop
through the doorway to the west.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Stand - To the right as the character exit the butcher's shop. A character
will need to toss a hand grenade at the stand in order to break it or fire
an explosive round at it with the grenade launcher, so a player can only do
this on a second playthrough.
--> Random Item
[ ] Wooden Barrel - Beside the wheelbarrow to the left after exiting the
butcher's shop.
--> Random Item
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Break the nearby --WOODEN BARREL-- by the wheelbarrow outside. Stand at the
top of the stairs that lead west. You see those crows down there? You can
shoot some of them and with your handgun to kill them. The crows will randomly
drop gold once defeated. They will increase your kills for this chapter and
they'll be added under your recorded kills under the main menu (Records). If
this is your second playthrough and you happen to have a flash grenade or hand
grenade then toss it down at them to kill them all.
----------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTIGATION
[ ] Headless dog carcass - The crows surround this gruesome sight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The crows are surrounding a carcass of a dog. Move into the building with the
"Wood Furniture" sign" along the side of it. Slash the skulls on the shelves
with the candles if you want then open the metal door inside.
Kick open the next door for an incredibly gruesome sight. Break the --WOODEN
BARREL-- and the two --WOODEN CRATES-- behind the goat display then move around
the corner to the west and turn to the left to find the exit door. A ++GREEN
HERB++ is on a shelf to the right of the exit door. Kick open the door then
step outside.
----------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTIGATION
[ ] Goat - Right across from the door that you enter the room from.
[ ] Erratic Memo - On the counter near the metal pot off to the left when
stepping further into the room.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Wooden Barrel - On the floor near the wooden shelf on the far west wall.
--> Random Item
[ ] Wooden Crate - Along the wooden shelf near the barrel mentioned above.
--> Definite Item: Green Herb
[ ] Wooden Crate - On the desk to the right of the other two objects.
--> Random Item
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Green Herb - Around the corner on a wooden shelf right before reaching the
exit door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some yells can be heard up ahead as Sheva runs to check it out. Don't feel
obligated to follow just yet. Little missy isn't aware of how much a survival
horror fan likes to explore so don't feel the need to follow her immediately.
You can call her back with the assist (O or B) button but she'll move on ahead
again after returning.
Don't worry, I'll help you understand the way she works throughout this guide.
There are no items in the immediate location, so move up the stairs. Press the
assist button in front of the door to confirm that you are ready to move onto
the next area. While online both players must enter ready status in order to
move onto the next area. If you ever find some jackass that continues to play
around for a long time with the environment then continuously press the assist
button while in ready status to annoy them. It works, trust me.

A cutscene will trigger once both characters enter the room.
A new enemy will attack after the cutscene. These enemies are labeled as a
"Majini" (singular and plural). Majini is the Swahili word for "Evil Spirit".
NEW ENEMY: Majini
A Majini can be shot in the head, upper arm, and leg while they walk or stand
still in order to stun them. While they are in a stunned pose, either
character can rush up to one and get a special command labeled by an on-screen
action button prompt. For the arm stun and leg stun the command will differ
depending on if you're character is in front of or behind the Majini. It is
possible to stun a Majini by shooting it in the arm then bounce it back and
forth with arm stun melees two times with the characters in order to get a
special tag team (or co-op) melee attack. This can be done in single player by
tricking the AI partner but it is most easily done in with a human partner
through online or split-screen co-op play.
The Majini will run toward Chris right after the cutscene. Quickly equip the
knife then slash him as he runs and he will most likely trip. Attack him while
he is on the ground with your special ground melee attack while standing near
him. You can also simply shoot him, but why waste ammo when you don't have to?
You could also use out newfound friend as a convenient start toward a
trophy/achievement since he is by himself.

Trophy/Achievement: A Cut Above
Description: Defeat 5 enemies with the Knife.
Details: Defeat 5 enemies of any type with only the knife. Equip the knife by
holding the knife button then slash at an enemy. The most important part in
attempting this trophy/achievement is that you make sure that the final hit
that kills the enemy is a knife slash. Only actual knife kills will count
toward this trophy/achievement.

You can break the nearby TV by slashing it with your knife. There's nothing
special about it but it gives you something to interact with in this room.
Open the door along the northwest side of this room to continue.
Take the ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ in the next room. The glass bottles along the
shelves can be slashed with the knife. Walk toward the window and press the
action button when the "Jump Out" command appears to leap through it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Along the set of shelves on the cabinet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be facing the west when your characters land. Behind the fence to the
north is a chicken pen with two chickens running about inside. These chickens
can be almost as vicious as a Majini! I'll show you soon.
Walk to the south. You won't find anything around the south alley, so turn to
the west and continue ahead. A cutscene will trigger eventually.
A whole horde of Majini will start moving toward Chris and Sheva from the east
after the cutscene. Now, keep in mind that the characters have switched
direction since before the cutscene, so they're actually facing the way that
they came from. You don't want to go back that way. Turn around with the
quick turn (Back + Run) and face the west again then run to the open blue door
to the east.
.------------------------------- EXTRA AND BONUS -----------------------------.
| It is possible to hold your ground and fight off all the Majini that attack |
| in the alley. You'll be fighting several at one time, so you really need a |
| human partner to do this. If this is your second playthrough then I hope |
| you brought some grenades. |
| |
| Both Chris and Sheva can set up some of the most devastating co-op melee |
| attacks right here. Simply surround the Majini horde then shoot one of |
| them in the arm and knock it toward the other character. One hit will |
| usually hit several and then the next hit in the sequence will hit several |
| more. A special command such as Chris' Back Hand and Sheva's Spinning Back |
| Kick can easily take out multiple Majini in the alley. Experiment and have |
| fun! |

|_________________| DETAILS: Defeat a good majority of the Majini in the back
alley area when they attack and one of the final few will
drop this treasure. There will be a Majini equipped with
dynamite that will appear near the end of Majini wave and
he will drop this treasure once defeated. It's best to
attempt this on a second playthrough and bring about 10
hand grenades, especially if you're playing in single
player mode. Chris could also simply bring along his
gatling gun weapon if has been unlocked.

As the for the chickens that I mentioned earlier, if you can defeat all the
Majini in the area then step inside the chicken pen (hop over the railing), the
chickens will actually attack the characters very aggressively. They're pretty
hard to hit also if the characters try to kill them.
A cutscene will trigger once both characters enter the building if the
characters choose to run from the Majini.
Chris will contact Kirk once again and tell him about the hostile locales.
Chris will contact Kick with the same phrase no matter if you defeat the Majini
or not. If you defeat them then he will contact Kirk directly after the last
one falls.
Pick up the ++RED HERB++ on the shelf inside and the ++HAND GRENADE++ on the
cabinet. Combine the green herb from earlier with the red herb for a full
healing spray. The hand grenade will really come in handy in a few moments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Red Herb - On the southeast shelf.
[ ] Hand Grenade - On the south cabinet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Approach the iron door to the side. This particular door type requires that
both players approach it and press the assist button in order to knock it down.
You'll have to examine it first with the action button. Your character will be
in ready status while kicking it, so keep tap the assist button if the other
player doesn't respond as a warning to get their ass in gear.
Maneuver through the gruesome sights in the room and pick up the ++HANDGUN
AMMO++ on the shelf then break the three ++WOODEN BARRELS++ around the corner
on the east side of the room. Find the opening in the floor along the east
side of this room and drop down below via the on-screen action button prompt.
----------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTIGATION
[ ] Meat w/Cleaver - To the left of the door as you move into the room.
[ ] Giant Axe - Right near the meat with meat cleaver.
[ ] Intestines - Move around the counter with the intestines and examine them
from the east side.
------------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECTS
[ ] Wooden Barrel - Across from the opening in the floor.
--> Random Item
[ ] Wooden Barrel - Across from the opening in the floor.

[ ] Handgun Ammo - On the east shelf by the boxes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move down the cave tunnel to the north. Some bodies are in the middle of the
tunnel. You can slash them both with your knife to keep you busy while I tell
you about this next part.
The rats in this area can be shot for extra gold, though they only drop 50 or
100 gold per pickup. Time to start building that Fort Knox early, my friend!
You'll have weapons to buy and upgrade in between stages so all the gold that
you pick up along the way will help out a bit. If you're running out of ammo
though, then don't worry about them. Continue further down the tunnel then
climb the ladder at the end.
Pick up the two ++HANGUN AMMO (+10)++ pickups along with the ++GREEN HERB++
pickup. Enter ready status at the door by pressing the assist button near it
to continue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - On the shelf at the top of the stairs.

After exiting from the building, the characters start out on a hill with a
curved path in front of them that leads down to a small building.
.---------------------------------- EXTRA/TIP --------------------------------.
| If you look off to the north while standing at the very edge of the cliff |
| that can be dropped down, you can make out both power boxes (transformers) |
| in the town area. You can shoot from the top of the cliff and they will |
| still be on the ground once the two character enter the town much later. |
| It's best to use the rifle, but with good aiming, it can be done with the |
| handgun. This will keep you from having to aim upwards during the tense |
| battle ahead in order to shoot the power boxes. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Run down the path ahead and tap the action button to drop from the ledge at the
end. Collect the ++GREEN HERB++ and ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ from the table.
Enter the building to trigger a cutscene.
.-------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ---------------------------------.
| Before entering the building, your characters can shoot at a few of the |
| breakable objects inside to destroy them and prevent you from having to |
| break them while the Majini raid the building after the cutscene. This is |
| not all that helpful, but still slightly interesting. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
-- CHECKPOINT
There are no bells for elusive "women in red" to ring this time, my friend, and
I don't think these townspeople believe in games of bingo, so this sequence in
Kijuju is going to be a bit different than Meester Scott Kennedy's Pueblo
village romp.
.---------------------------------- EXTRA ------------------------------------.
| If either character is killed during this Public Assembly area then you'll |
| receive a death cutscene with a viewpoint while your character stares up at |
| Majini that are beating your fallen character. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Directly following the cutscene, you need to scrounge up some ammo and items
from the current items and breakable objects lying around the room. Break the
--WOODEN BARREL-- and stack of --MELONS-- along the immediate left side and
then turn around and run toward the desk then open the drawer to collect some
++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ and then break the nearby --WOODEN BARREL--. On the
other side of the room, destroy the --WOODEN CRATE-- and the stack of
--TOMATOES-- to get some more ammo.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Melons - On the table beside the first window to the left.
--> Definite Item: Hand Grenade
[ ] Wooden Barrel - Inside the building beside the first window to the left.
--> Random Item
[ ] Tomatoes - On the table to the right of the door on the far side of the
building.
--> Definite Item: Handgun Ammo (+10)
[ ] Wooden Crate - On the table to the right of the door on the far side of the
building.
--> Definite Item: Handgun Ammo (+10%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Lying on the table beside the TV.
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Open the drawer below the TV.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few ways that you can approach this part. It all depends on the
individual and how you really want to play.
.-------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ---------------------------------.
| Like the Ganados in the beginning area of Resident Evil 4, the Majini in |
| this area are rather weak and die pretty quickly to just about any attack. |
| Melee attacks after a stun do some extreme damage to these weak Majini, so |
| be sure to use these special attacks to your advantage. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
OPTION 1 --> BARRICADE THE ROOM!
Push the bookcases in front of the window on the left side of the room and push
the other bookcase in front of the door on the right side of the room. Stand
on the side of the bookcase that you want to push then hold the interact button
(X) to push the bookcase. In single player mode, you can have your partner
assist your primary character by tapping the partner assist button (O or B)
when the button icon appears while standing next to either bookcase. This will
save you time since the partner will push the bookcase and allow your character
time to push the other.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the partner assist option for interacting or picking up
an item will only appear in single player mode.
-- Tips for fighting off the Majini while in the building:
- Push each of the bookcases exactly twice with each character and this will
leave enough room to shoot the outside Majini when they break down the door
and window and the bookcase will be pushed just enough to where they can't
get through and will have to continue to pound on the obstacle. Feel free to
blast them with your handgun - shoot through the door, who cares if the door
breaks. It's really best to break the door before pushing the bookcase
against it since the bookcase is sometimes the first blockade to fall. One
neat aspect of the door trick is that you can most likely grab the items as
the Majini fall outside the doorway by moving up against the bookcase until
you receive the item pick up prompt!
- Your character can stand right near the window and equip the knife then
simply slash at the Majini instead of shooting them. It's better for Chris
to do this since he has a Machete with greater power and reach but Sheva can
hold off the Majini just as well.
- After barricading the door on the right side of the building, stand near the
far side of the grated window on the wall to the left of the door (far left)
and aim at the outside Majini then shoot at them through the window to stall
them and keep them from damaging the door and the bookcase that blocks it.
If you follow the tips above then you can easily fight off the Majini until
Chris contacts Kirk over his radio. This is much easier to do while playing
cooperatively with a person over Xbox LIVE. Stand at one of the entryways and
guard it by shooting the Majini as they try to enter the building. No matter
which entryway you choose to secure, be sure to look over at your partner to
see how that character is holding up and offer help when necessary.
It's really best to leave the building early, shortly before Chris contacts
Kirk so both players can grab the items from the fallen Majini outside.
Literally run into the middle of a Majini group that has an item near them and
pick up the item. The invincibility animation from picking up the item will
keep you safe and the Majini will likely be recovering from their attacks once
your finished. Time our item pickups to avoid attacks.
OPTION 2 --> RUSH OUTSIDE THE BUILDING AND TAKE THEM ALL ON!
Only do this if you have previously played through this stage. Don't do this
on your first time through. I would advise grabbing all the ammo in the room
like normal before trying this. Jump through the window or kick down the door
and rush outside then fight off the Majini as they hop over the gate, hop off
the building rooftop, or hop off the side of the nearby wooden fence.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| The first wave of Majini pile up the most since they will most likely be |
| hopping over the gate already if you choose to grab the items inside of the |
| building, so Chris players might want to take out the Shotgun and clear |
| some of the grouped Majini. Really melee attacks work just as well also |
| for either character. You can also toss a hand grenade at them once they |
| have all landed. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
You'll want to use melee attacks for sure if you choose to take on the Majini
outside. Aim for either the head, leg, or upper part of the shoulder on the
arm that is not carrying a weapon and fire then run up to them and hit them
with a melee attack. All of Chris' melee attacks, especially his Straight
Punch work extremely well for crowds and Sheva's roundhouse from a head stun
works well for crowds as well. It is best to stand on the far left side of the
outside area (to the left after jumping out the window since the Majini can't
get behind your character as easily - get in a corner if needed.
Tips for taking on the Majini while outside:
- Before exiting the building, push a bookcase in front of the window and this
will prevent the Majini from moving through the window after the dialogue
where Chris contacts Kirk. This is extremely useful for keeping the Majini
to one side right when the Executioner is about to break the gate.
- The first wave of Majini that climb over the gate are always the most
numerous, so you might want to toss a hand grenade at them as they first
start to land on the your side. Try to make sure that most of them are on
your side before the explosion, so you can collect the items they leave
behind. This is mainly useful for online play where the Majini are much more
numerous.
- Stand at the window on the left side and wait for Majini to step in front of
it then dive out the window to knock the Majini down.
- Stand near the door on the right side of the room and wait for a Majini to
step in front of the door then kick it open to damage the Majini.
- Shoot the Majini as they climb any portion of the gate to knock them back
down the other side. See the tip below for an even better method.
- Shoot the Majini while they are on the wooden fence or while they are on the
car to make them fall and they most likely won't survive the damage of the
fall. You can also stand near the car and slash at them.
- Wait for a Majini to hop over the gate then pin it against the gate with
knife slashes. It's better if you're partner helps you out with this, like a
fellow buddy of mine. You can also slash the Majini that fall down to the
car in the east to knock them off.
- Take shelter in melee attacks since you are invincible during them. Aim at a
weak point on a Majini then simply run into an entire crowd near that one
Majini and perform a melee attack to knock down all of them and sustain
invincibility throughout the entire melee sequence.
- Like melee attacks, you are invincible during an item grab, so quickly grab
any type of item that may be in the area if a Majini is about to hit your
character.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| For this gate and any climbable fence, wait until a Majini has climbed to |
| the very top then shoot it with a handgun shot to make it fly off the fence |
| and fall to its death. |
| |
'----------------------------------- EXTRA -----------------------------------'
| The Majini with the megaphone yells out phrases from atop the wooden |
| execution walkway past the gate. Aim at him and shoot him to make him stop |
| yelling and climb down. He will actually leap off of the wooden execution |
| walkway behind the gate and climb over the fence. He will try to smack |
| Chris and Sheva with his megaphone! He will automatically come down and |
| attack once the characters step further into the town after the gate's |
| destruction. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> CHRIS CONTACTS KIRK AS ALL HELL PREPARES TO BREAK LOOSE
Chris will contact Kirk (the helicopter pilot) eventually. This dialogue
signifies a change of plans as a new enemy prepares to step into view. As the
following dialogue plays out, Majini will begin to walk into the building from
the entrance where Chris and Sheva first entered the building from.
_________ __________
Chris: Kirk! Come in! The locals are hostile! The gate is sealed, and we're
trapped. We need backup, and we need it right now!
Kirk: Roger that. Just sit tight. I'm on my way!
Chris: Did you hear that, Sheva? Helps on the way!
Sheva: Got it! I just hope he gets here quick.
---------- ----------
Shortly after the above dialogue, a cutscene will player where Majini will
break the rooftop of the building that Chris and Sheva stepped into. If you're
still in the building then get the hell out of there! Majini will flood the
building at this point. Don't ever go back to the area where Chris and Sheva
fell down the ledge at the end of the path. If you do, then you might need to
toss a grenade into the building to clear out the Majini that will pursue your
characters before stepping back inside. Also, a new, much bigger threat is
approaching from behind the outside gate.
NOTE: If you toss a grenade shortly before the cutscene where the Majini break
through the roof then the grenade will disappear as the gameplay resumes.
.------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ----------------------------------.
| After the Majini break through the roof of the building, you will enter the |
| most dangerous portion of this stage since the Majini will come at your |
| characters nonstop from now on with much greater number than before. You |
| need to avoid getting surrounded and have an idea of what is around you. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once the cutscene where the Majini break through the rooftop of the building is
finished, the Executioner from the cutscene will appear in the town outside of
the gate. He will always start out in the far right corner of the alley past
the gate (near the red explosive barrel in that corner). He will slowly walk
toward the gate then swing his axe at the entranceway to knock the gate down.
You can blast the Executioner as much as you want while he walks toward the
gate - you can actually shoot the red explosive barrel along the far right side
of the alleyway that he moves down directly after the cutscene with Majini
breaking the roof if you are quick enough.
Toss a grenade toward the gate as the Executioner steps in front of it to
damage him badly. Your character can also stand near the gate and shoot the
Execution in the head to stun him. Always shoot him in the head with whatever
weapon you use and he will stun quickly. The only bad part about hurting him
before he breaks the gate is that you can't get your free melee attack on him
when he stuns because of the gate. Yes, he can be killed but you're going to
have to work to destroy him. It's kind of like defeating both Dr. Salvadors
during the Ganado raid in Pueblo village in Resident Evil 4 except you're
fighting a walking tank this time. Check the very end of this level if you
want to see how to bring him down with extreme aggression.
.--------------------------- INFINITE TIME GLITCH ----------------------------.
| If neither character passes through the destroyed gate after the |
| Executioner breaks it down, then the dialogue that normally takes place in |
| the town will not play. The stage will basically never end as long as your |
| characters do not cross the area where the gate was. You'll have to deal |
| with the Executioner and plenty of Majini while holding your ground on the |
| other side of the gate. The Majini will eventually stop appearing after |
| enough of them have been killed. As long as your characters do not step |
| past the gate then the following dialogue will not play: |
| |
| Sheva: "There's just no end to them! |
| Chris: "We've gotta' hold out till Kirk gets here!" |
| |
| As long as your characters do not cross the gate, the above dialogue will |
| never play and the stage will never end. The moment your characters step |
| through the gate area, into the town, Majini will appear once again and the |
| dialogue will begin to play then the stage will continue like normal. |

small area and he has too great of a range for your character to stand near him
and avoid getting hit most of the time. If you noticed the brick wall without
paint inside of the building that Chris and Sheva just exited from then these
are the types of walls that the Executioner can break with his axe in order to
enter a building. These type of walls are also found in the buildings up ahead
inside of the town.

EXECUTIONER MAJINI
------------------
HP: 12,000
--> THE ENTRANCE GATE HAS BEEN KNOCKED DOWN
The Executioner is now a major threat to both of your characters, so let's go
over his attack arsenal.
Executioner Attacks:
1) Horizontal Swing - The Executioner holds his axe to his side then steps
forward with a swing of his axe then he steps forward with another swing
following the first. This is a very dangerous attack and the Executioner's
startup animation for it is sometimes hard to notice.
2) Overhead Swing - The Executioner holds his axe behind him then steps forward
as he performs an overhead swing. Sidestepping it can easily dodge this.
3) Turning Swing - The Executioner turns around to face your character and
swings his axe one time while turning. He doesn't perform this move that
often, but he might just surprise you with it sometimes.
4) Grab - The Executioner reaches out to grab your character from close range.
He will hold your character into the air and choke the character then throw
the character to the ground. While on the ground, press the X button when
the button prompt appears to avoid the Executioner's overhead axe chop.
Failure to dodge will result in an instant kill! This grab can be broken if
you're partner interrupts the grab with a melee attack. On single player
mode, be sure to mash the B button in order to have Sheva break the grab.
One thing that should be highly noted about this attack is if AI Sheva is
grabbed then Mr. Redfield better damn well save her with an assist melee
attack while close to the Executioner or perform some type of shot that
disrupts the grab or else Sheva will sometimes not escape the grab and she
will die!
5) Berserker Rage - When the Executioner is very low in health, he will begin
to swing his axe horizontally over and over as if in a raging state, so be
prepared to run away from him or at least back up. He will usually swing
one way then keep moving that save way, so step to the side and around him
when he starts this. He will perform both horizontal and vertical swings.
Just because he performs a vertical swing does not mean that he is finished.
As he gets lower in life, he may take quite a while to stop this combination
attack.
6) Recovery Swing - If both characters hit the Executioner with a melee attack
when the Executioner is stunned then the Executioner will crouch downward
and eventually recover while performing a set of horizontal swings
resembling the Horizontal Swing mentioned above. The only real difference
is that he has a crouching pose for the startup and will only do this after
both characters have hit him with a melee command after a stun.
(NOTE: The Executioner has a certain frame of animation during some of his
attacks that will keep him safe from attacks that would normally stun him, so
if you toss a grenade or hit him during these times, then he will not crouch
down. This usually occurs at the very end of each attack.)
.-------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ---------------------------------.
| Make sure that you have an idea of where your partner is from now on since |
| this is a rather big area. In single player mode, keep Sheva on "Cover" |
| command and she will keep up with Chris and heal him when needed and Chris |
| can do the same for Sheva. |
| |
|--------------------------------- WARNING -----------------------------------|
| DO NOT heal your partner if he/she is struck down in front of the |
| the Executioner unless the heal is near instant while the character is |
| getting up from being knocked down. The Executioner's horizontal swing is |
| capable of hitting both characters during the healing animation and sending |
| both into dying status. Work on stunning the Executioner with a shotgun |
| blast directly to the head, two handgun shots to the head or a grenade |
| tossed near him then heal your partner. A Resuscitation near the |
| Executioner is a fine choice since both characters are invincible during |
| the entire animation, but healing with a green herb can be a death sentence |
| for both characters. Remember that a green herb is automatically used |
| in place of a Resuscitation when one is your character's inventory and this |
| animation is NOT an invincibility animation. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
For the remainder of the town, allow me to take you on a guided tour, my fellow
RE fan! You don't have to follow me, since I don't move along a convenient
path, but feel free to read on:
OPTION 1 --> GO LEFT (FROM BEGINNING OF THE TOWN)
- MAKE ANOTHER LEFT
When the two characters step through the gate, the blue stand to the left can
be destroyed (with a grenade/knock a Majini into it/have the Executioner take a
swing at it)) to receive a --RANDOM ITEM--.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Random Item - Use a grenade to destroy the blue stand to the immediate left
after stepping through the destroyed gate. You can also knock a Majini
into it with melee or have the Executioner attack it.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a ladder that can be climbed if you move left then walk beside or hop
over the small wooden fence to the left. This actually leads up to the top
portion of the building that Chris and Sheva just exited from. Climb the
ladder and run along the top walkway. Majini will climb on top of this high
walkway area from below.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Wooden Barrel - In a corner behind a fence railing.
--> Random Item
[ ] Wooden Crate - On the table with the Green Herb.
--> Definite Item: Handgun Ammo (+10)
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - On the middle table.
[ ] Green Herb - On the table with the crate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll need to step around the hole in the floor and get to the other side of
this floor in order to move up to the high rooftop. The hole mentioned is
actually the hole from earlier that the Majini made to enter the building.
Climb the ladder on the other side of the hole.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| While both characters are on the top walkway and while they are in any |
| other area where the Executioner can't reach, the Executioner will walk |
| back and forth between the many hazards below. While looking off the side |
| across from the ladder that the characters use to get up to this high area, |
| notice how the Executioner walks up and down the main path and moves by the |
| set of red barrels and walks up under the power box hanging on the wooden |
| pole beside the broken down bus. He heads toward the far gate to the north |
| (by the red barrels near the gate) and then steps into the market area in |
| the northeast. |
| |
| He will step over the small railing in the east and then walk to the south |
| (by the set of red barrels again) and then head toward the single red |
| barrel by the execution walkway. He will walk back toward the gate in the |
| north from here. The Executioner will keep up this pattern whenever both of |
| your characters are on a high area that he cannot reach or inside the bus |
| in the midportion of town! |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
On the very top of the building (third floor), three ++HAND GRENADES++ lie near
a water tower on the opposite side of the rooftop. Majini will climb the
ladder that Chris and Sheva came up and they will also climb up the side of the
sign railing of the building. This is an excellent place to steak out when
you're running low on ammo, since the Majini will begin to come in much fewer
number here than they will on the ground level of the town below. They won't
attack as much on the lower walkway either.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Hand Grenade - On the west corner of the rooftop.
[ ] Hand Grenade - On the west corner of the rooftop.
[ ] Hand Grenade - On the west corner of the rooftop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2 --> TAKE THE PATH STRAIGHT AHEAD (FROM BEGINNING OF THE TOWN)
There is a set of !!OIL CANISTERS!! along the middle path that can be shot.
Run past the canisters then turn around and shoot them whenever the Executioner
moves by them and they will cause a burst of flames to stretch out along the
ground beside them and burn any Majini that happen to cross it. Your character
can stand on the opposite side and shoot at the Executioner while the wall of
flames separates him from your team. The Executioner has a bad habit of simply
walking into the flames. Keep in mind that your character can knock a Majini
into the flames by melee attacking or staggering a Majini into the fire through
gunfire.
Notice the bus in the middle of the town by across from the building by the
execution platform.

- CONTINUE DOWN LEFT PATH
You'll come upon a small shack with a --WOODEN BARREL-- inside. Right up above
this shack is a !!TRANSFORMER!! (power box) that can be shot down in order to
damage enemies. The unique aspect of these power boxes is that, once the
electrical surge dies down, they can be shot again and again in to restart the
electricity in them and shock any nearby enemies that happen to step near them.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Wooden Barrel - In the back left corner of the small shack.
--> Random Item
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ENTER THE MIDDLE BUILDING
After opening the door, --HANDGUN AMMO (+10)-- is lying on a table to your
immediate left. The Executioner can break through the wall on the right side
of this building and the wall on the left side. Open the drawer of the cabinet
right across from the handgun ammo and take the --MACHINE GUN AMMO (+30)-- from
inside. If you need to make a quick escape from the building then jump through
window next to the left corner to the side.
.--------------------------------- EXTRA INFO --------------------------------.
| The Executioner can destroy the weak walls in these buildings and hit your |
| character with that particular swing, so stay away from the weak brick |
| walls. Your character can destroy them by throwing a grenade at them. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Further around the left corner a --GREEN HERB-- and some ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++
are on a table and another ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ pickup is lying on some bags.
There are two --WOODEN BARRELS-- beside the bags. Watch out for the wall to
the left since the Executioner can break through it.

[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Lying on the sandbags in the right corner near the
barrels across from the window.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 3 --> CONTINUE DOWN THE RIGHT PATH (FROM BEGINNING OF THE TOWN)
To the immediate right is an alley behind the execution platform that has an
!!RED EXPLOSIVE BARREL!! in the corner of it. The Executioner can be lured
here or you can lure him further ahead down the middle path and shoot the !!OIL
CANISTERS!! to the side in order to ignite the ground and burn the Executioner
and any Majini that move along the path. The ladder of the execution platform
across from the group of red barrels can be climbed; the platform makes a good
sniping spot for shooting the Executioner below. Beware that the Executioner
can get on this platform, it just takes him time. He will enter the building
below, next to the execution platform, then walk up the stairs inside and come
after your character.
- ENTER THE BUILDING NEAR THE EXECUTION PLATFORM
Speaking of the building that the Executioner goes to, you can enter that
building and pick up the ++INCENDIARY GRENADE++ and the ++HAND GRENADE++ on the
group of shelves to your left after opening the door. Look to the right and
open the drawer of the blue cabinet to find some ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ inside.
There is some ++MACHINE GUN AMMO++ on a shelf with a --WOODEN CRATE-- lying
beside it in the far right corner (while entering via the door) of this floor
also.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Wooden Crate - On the shelf near the Machine Gun Ammo.

[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Inside the cabinet drawer across from the shelf with
the grenades.
[ ] Machine Gun Ammo (+30) - On the shelf to the far left of the door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can choose to go up the stairs from here and move out onto the execution
platform or jump out the nearby window and enter the area with stands up ahead.
For this walkthrough, I'm going to hightail it out the window.
The Executioner can break all the wooden stands in this area, but he needs to
step over the nearby fence in order to get to your character, so keep that in
mind if he is nearby.
- DEEPER INTO THE TOWN
There is a !!TRANSFORMER!! on a pole in the very middle of the main path that
stretches across the town that can be shot down like the power box from
earlier. Aim up and shoot it when the Executioner steps by it. Remember that
you can shoot it again (while it is grounded) whenever the electricity stops
for another burst of electricity.
Look up ahead and spot the white and red umbrella to the right of the back
gate. This nostalgic scenery actually stands as a marker for an important
weapon. Open the --METAL CASE-- below the umbrella and take the ++VZ61 (MG)++
machine gun from inside.

There is a group of --TOMATOES-- near the case, but they don't ever hold any
type of item. You can shoot the !!OIL CANISTERS!! near the stands to trigger a
fire just like near the entrance to the town. Once the closest stand is
destroyed near the barrels (through enemy hits or the fire) a
--RANDOM ITEM-- will appear where the closest stand to the barrels was at.
There is another --RANDOM ITEM-- in the stand further to the side, but you'll
need to throw a grenade at it or allow the Executioner to break it in order to
get the item.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gate in the back of the town is locked. Move across to the opposite side
of the section above (left side) and hit the group of --MELONS-- for an item
then turn your attention to the stands further ahead and pick up the ++HANDGUN
AMMO (+10)++ then destroy the nearby --WOODEN BARREL-- for an extra item. If
you have a grenade, you can toss it at the stand closest to the stairs that
lead up to the middle building and the stand behind the stand with the melons
and a --RANDOM ITEM-- will appear in the debris of both of them.

--> TEARING THROUGH THE EXECUTIONER
Tips:
- Right after the Majini break through the roof of the building, stand near the
left side of the gate and look to the right (behind the gate) then immediately
shoot the red explosive barrel. The Executioner will always start near it
after the cutscene before he walks toward the gate. You have to be fast to
take advantage of the red barrel.
- Before the Executioner breaks down the gate, toss a grenade toward the gate
and this will hit him most likely as he breaks it allowing your character to
fire at him from close range then perform a melee attack right after he breaks
the gate.
- Keep in mind that the Executioner's axe swing that breaks the gate cannot hit
your character, so you can literally stand right next to the gate and hit him
with gunfire while he breaks it. This axe swing will knock away any Majini
that happen to be in the way, but it will pass right through your character.
You could actually keep shooting at his head and restunning him before he has a
chance to break it.
- When the Executioner is stunned from taking too much damage, shoot him in the
head with the handgun (or other weapon) a few times from close range then
quickly cancel the final shot before he recovers into a melee attack - wait
until he starts to rise. Once he is FULLY standing, he cannot be hit with a
melee attack.
- The Executioner can be double teamed. Directly after a partner's melee
attack, run up to the Executioner yourself for a melee attack prompt. Only two
melee attacks may be performed per stun. If your partner hits the Executioner
while the Executioner is grappling your character, run up to the Executioner
yourself and perform a melee attack as he staggers. Learn to take advantage of
this "buddy system" we have here to avoid being "sandwiched". The Executioner
will always perform a recovery swing after being hit with two melee attacks in
a row, so back away from him after the second melee attack - it IS possible to
restun him by shooting him in the head before he performs the recovery swing,
but it is extremely risky.
- If you're playing single player, then run up to the Executioner while he is
stunned and hit him with a melee attack with Chris then run toward the
Executioner and move behind him; if she is in "Cover" assist mode, Sheva will
follow Chris and melee attack the Executioner as she runs by.
- The Executioner's overhead swing can be dodge by simply sidestepping to the
right or left. You can actually use this sidestepping technique to remain
close to him and blast him. His horizontal swing can be avoided by constantly
backing up, but don't rely on this all the time, especially when he starts to
go berserk!
- Regarding the above tip, remember these move startup animations:
holding axe behind him = vertical (overhead) swing
holding axe to the side of him = horizontal swing
- The Executioner will kill any Majini that he hits with his big axe, so he can
clear a whole crowd for your characters. All the Majini that stand in front of
the gate as he breaks it will be damaged by his axe.
- Gunfire aimed directly at the Executioner's head will stun him extremely
quick. Just two handgun shots directly in the head should be enough to stun
him in single player and co-op modes. Firing rapidly at his head with the
machine gun will stun him quickly also. If this is your second playthrough,
one close range shotgun blast to the head will usually stun him, one rifle shot
directly to the head will stun him. Keep in mind that the Executioner must be
standing and moving in order to stun him - gunfire while he is getting up will
not count towards a stun.
- Time your reloads so that you reload in front of the Executioner while he is
stunned so that the action command for hitting him appears while your character
is reloading. Right when your character starts to reload, press the button for
the action command to make your character end the reload animation and
automatically start the melee command. This will reload your weapon without
having to watch the entire animation. One neat aspect about this technique is
that you can shoot off a few rounds while close to the Executioner then be able
to reload before finishing off the close encounter with a melee attack.
- Much like the reload technique mentioned above, if you stand in front of the
Executioner when he is stunned then fire off a shot, the animation for the shot
can be interrupted by inputting the command for a melee attack. This mainly
useful for the shotgun and rifle (if this is your second playthrough) since the
handgun already has a fast rate of fire and so does the machine gun, but at
least you can cancel the animation of your character lowering the weapon.
- Run inside the broken down bus and blast the Executioner through the windows.
You'll obviously have to watch for the Majini that enter the bus from the door.
Keep in mind that if the Executioner swings, you are NOT safe from his hits
while in the bus - he can hit both characters through the walls of the bus!
Using the bus, it is possible to step in and out of the bus to lure him toward
it then shoot him from inside. He will almost always walk away after the
characters enter the bus. If he swings however, the walls of the bus will not
protect the characters.
- Set up traps for the Executioner - have him follow you into a building then
jump out the window of the building and toss a grenade inside the building.
Lead him under a power box and shoot it or lead him near a fallen power box
then shoot it to set off an electric current once again. Lead him near
explosive barrels and shoot them also, just be far enough away to where your
character is not caught in the blast.
- Shoot the Executioner from far or long range with the Handgun. If you want
to take him down quickly then you're going to have to pump every SINGLE PIECE
OF AMMO INTO HIM WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST THOUGHT OF CONSERVING. Toss grenades at
him once they are collected and this will speed up the process dramatically.
Incendiary grenades really work best against the Majini rather than the
Execution but they work well to stagger the Executioner from close range - aim
toward the ground in front of your character then toss the grenade if you have
to - just don't toss it directly at your feet or you'll get burned!
- Run up the steps behind the middle building then stand near the railing
overlooking the staircase while on the rooftop and shoot the Executioner in the
head as he moves up the stairs.
- The swarming Majini are really the worst part about fighting the Executioner,
so you can't stay in one place for too long without surveying your immediate
area. Always look around a bit while fighting the Executioner and, when
available, take melee attack prompts immediately to keep your character from
getting surrounded and to keep your character from getting hit. Picking up
items while in the midst of a mob can really help out for immediate
invincibility against any type of attack as well.
- Setting Sheva to the Attack (Go) command from the moment that the gate is
knocked down will make her more aggressive and she will shoot the Executioner
more often with her rifle. The downside to this is that she may not always be
there to help your character when Chris enters dying status.
--> SPOTS WHERE THE EXECUTIONER CANNOT FOLLOW
- The top walkway above the building that Chris and Sheva enter at the
beginning. This is accessible by climbing the ladder behind the small fence
to the left after entering the town once the Executioner has broken the gate
down.
- The inside of the bus in the middle of the town. He can hit the characters
through the side of the bus if he swings, so watch for his attacks if he is
berserking!
- Jump across to the top of the shack or the top of the broken down bus while
on top of the middle building.
NOTE: He can reach the top of the execution platform, but he must go up the
stairs in the building next to the platform, so your character can seek
temporary relief while on the platform then leap off of it when the Executioner
climbs up to the platform. It's possible to take advantage of constantly
leaping off and climbing back onto the top of the executioner platform. The
Executioner will simply keep turning and walking up and down the ramp.
--> THE GAME PLAN (SUMMARY OF OWNING HIM) [SINGLE PLAYER METHOD]
So basically, from the beginning, (a) look through the gate and shoot the red
explosive barrel behind the gate down the alley to the right after the Majini
break through the roof, 9b) shoot the Executioner with the handgun as he walks
toward the gate, (c) toss a grenade at the gate while the Executioner breaks
it, (d) equip a weapon (the handgun will do) then run up to the Execution and
hit him with continuous blasts to the head (e) melee attack him right before he
fully stands to end the final blast (if you're on single player then run by him
and allow Sheva to hit him with a melee attack), (f) run down the middle path
(towards the first building) and shoot the Executioner with the handgun when
you turn then wait for him to step next to the group of red barrels then shoot
them to burn him (g) stand on the other side of the flames and keep shooting
the Executioner with the handgun even while he burns.
(h) Enter the building to the east and grab the hand grenade and incendiary
grenade, (i) jump out the north window of the current building then run to the
north. Pick up the machine gun from the metal case for some extra firepower.
Run to the stack of melons on the cart to the northwest and slash them then
grab the hand grenade, (j) run into the middle of town and allow the
Executioner to step near the middle portion of the path with the overhead
transformer then toss a hand grenade below him, (k) the resulting explosion
will stun him and knock the transformer down, which will electrocute him. Run
up to him and perform shots with a gun then cancel into a melee. Try to
approach a side where your character is facing the electrified transformer so
that your character knocks him into it. (l) quick turn and run then toss
another hand grenade. The Executioner will be hit by the grenade explosion and
the transformer shock once again, so run up to him again and blast him some
more then cancel into a melee.
Still alive?
(m) Quick turn and run away then toss an incendiary grenade then blast him with
the handgun from a safe distance. (n) he will now be so weak that he will
perform his Berserker Rage swings, so allow him to charge directly toward the
north gate then shoot the oil canisters near the gate to burn him.
NOTE 1: Remember that you can also stand right near the gate as the Executioner
walks up to it and blast him in head continuously with a gun.
NOTE 2: The surrounding Majini (especially while in co-op play) can easily
screw up your game plan when tossing grenades, so the above method might not
always go so well. The main problem I have is with random Majini grabs and a
Majini stepping in front of my character before I toss a hand grenade. You
just have to improvise with another hand grenade or allow the Executioner to
perform his overhead hit then sidestep to the side and blast him with the
shotgun to stun him.
NOTE 3: Cancel into a melee early if the surrounding Majini are about to hit
your character while you blast the Executioner from close range.
--> IF YOUR PARTNER HITS THE EXECUTIONER WITH A MELEE ATTACK EARLY
If you want to fire off some extra shots and your partner rushes in and
performs a melee, you can still get off a few shots along with a melee cancel.
Run up to the Executioner as he staggers then perform a few quick blasts with
your weapon then cancel that blast into a melee immediately. Both characters
can do this no problem. Even if the melee is delayed enough to where the
Executioner is actually moving after the command is entered, it will still hit
him and knock him back.
--> CO-OP STRATEGY FOR THE EXECUTIONER
While playing cooperatively, you're going to be swarmed with extra Majini, so
you really can't stand near him and restun him. You're most likely going to
have cancel your gun blasts early because of the surrounding Majini.
From the start, make sure that you grab the hand grenade in the melon stack by
the window. Toss this grenade toward the fence as the Executioner breaks it
with his axe and this will both stun him and clear out any nearby Majini
allowing you to shoot him a few times then melee him with both characters. Run
down the middle path then wait for him to step near the oil canisters and then
shoot them to halt him and the Majini that follow around him.
- Character 1 (most likely Chris)
At this point, one character should immediately run toward the middle building
on the east side and go inside after the oil canisters are shot. Grab the
grenades and maybe the machine gun ammo inside then quickly jump out the window
on the north side. Open the inventory and equip a hand grenade while jumping
through the window.
Run to the northwest and find the stack of melons then slash at them and pick
up the grenades form that pile. Now you have two hand grenades and an
incendiary grenade. Toss the incendiary grenade at a nearby group of Majini if
they start to swarm your character.
- Character 2 (Sheva)
The other character could enter the building on the west side and grab the
green herb inside and maybe the machine gun ammo then jump out the window on
the northwest side. You need some sort of extra healing item in case something
goes wrong with Character 1, because it can very easily.
Really, Sheva could stay outside of the buildings and simply back up and fire
her rifle at the Executioner. Watch out for Majini that come from the north
however.
- Both Characters Meet
Wait until the Executioner reaches the middle portion of the town, in between
the two buildings then toss a hand grenade at him. The hand grenade should
stun him and make the electric transformer fall right next to him, which will
electrify him for some extra damage. Run up and get the usual hits in on him
depending on the character that you are currently using. If the Executioner
gets stuck with his back to the transformer while it is electrified, then a
melee attack can actually make him stagger into the electrified transformer for
extra damage. Both characters should run up and melee attack him, but the
first melee attack should be delayed until right before he recovers so you can
blast him a bit while he is stunned. The second melee attack can be delayed as
well so both character can pump more gunfire into him shortly before the melee
attack is executed.
Remember to back up to avoid his recovery swing after the second melee attack -
a grenade can actually stun him during the recovery swing. After the second
melee attack toss another hand grenade when he begins to move toward your
character (make sure that he is moving or it won't stun him). The hand grenade
will once again stun him and electrify him because of the nearby transformer.
Run up to him again then blast him and cancel into a melee attack. This should
damage him greatly.
The most important part for this advice is to grab the hand grenades - that's
literally all I get since they are basically enough to take him down if Chris
uses the handgun on the Executioner while in close range during a stun.
- An Alternate Route
Instead of having one character enter the west house, that character could also
climb up the ladder in the southeast section just past the gate then grab the 3
hand grenades at the very top of the roof after climbing the second ladder.
This takes quite a bit of time and leaves your partner open to attack all that
time without your help. The good part about this is that many of the Majini
will focus on the character that climbs the ladder however. The character that
moves up the ladder can also toss the grenades from the rooftop if the
Executioner is below or that character can move back down the platforms and
join up with the partner. If you do this while playing alongside me online,
then the Executioner will probably be falling when you arrive, I'm afraid, so
you could use the grenades on the surrounding Majini at least!
- Confusing the Executioner
Both characters can get on opposite sides of the Executioner and basically
confuse him. He can only come after one at time, so one character can blast
him with the handgun while the other lures him away and sets him up for a melee
attack with a tossed hand grenade.
--> EXECUTIONER EXPLOITS
- The Executioner must stop everything that he is doing and step over the small
wooden fences in the west area right outside the gate to the town and in the
northeast area beside the nearby building. You can hop over the small wooden
fence in each of these areas and wait for the Executioner to approach then
blast him as he steps over the wooden fence. Once he steps to your side,
simply hop back over to the opposite side and make him step over again. The
best fence to do this with is the one in the west right outside the town gate.
The fence near the locked gate in the north has a window near it that you can
hop through to get away from any Majini that pile up - hop through the window
then clear out the Majini then hop back over and take on the Executioner. The
Executioner will most likely walk to the front door, so he will leave the
immediate area but quickly come back and have to step over the fence once again
when you hop back outside!
- It's also possible to lure the Executioner into the first building and vault
back and forth over the railing inside to make him step over it much like the
small wooden fences. It's a little funny to watch him step over such a high
railing.
- The Executioner's swing that knocks down the gate after the cutscene where
the Majini break through the roof CANNOT hit your character, so you take
advantage of this by getting right next to the gate as he breaks it then blast
him or stand right near the gate and continually blast him while he walks up to
it, knowing that you will not get hit when he breaks it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - On the table beside the barrel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hop through the window or step around the north corner then open the door to
the west. Some Majini can be heard up ahead.
When the characters walk toward the broken ladder a slight cutscene will play.
Both characters can press the assist button near the ladder for a partner
assist action (assist jump). This makes Chris hoist Sheva up to the floor
above. There is really no reason to do this other than to see a key item that
neither character can reach just yet. The Sheva player should fall back down
after the cutscene. On any playthrough, you can simply skip this partner
assist action.
----------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTIGATION
[ ] Barred Window - The Sheva player can examine the barred window on the
second floor after the partner assist action in order to see a key item.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the alley to the west. A female Majini is hunched over a dead body at the
end of the alley. She will be alerted to the characters presence soon, so
prepare to blast her. She actually won't attack from a distance until a
character aims a her. She feels that hot laser on her back ready to blast
through her skull!
When you step into the next area, a Majini will be beating a dead body behind
the fence to the north. If you step near the fence then he will notice the
characters and climb the gate to attack them. You can simply shoot him while
he is at the top of the fence and make him suffer damage from the fall. It's
really best to let Majini such as this come to your side; this way, you'll reap
the reward of the item drop that they might possibly leave behind instead of
having it closed off to you. Slash the nearby --WOODEN BARREL-- in front of
the fence and other --WOODEN BARREL-- in the alcove to the east.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.----------------------------------- EXTRA -----------------------------------.
| If the characters run up to the fence on the far south side then a blonde |

| them can be hit. They are immune to damage and will not stagger when shot. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.----------------------------------- EXTRA -----------------------------------.
| A character can stand near the south fence and shoot all the boxes inside |
| the stand on the other side so that the pile falls over. A Majini hides |
| behind them and will knock them down once a player approaches the stand |
| after moving around the corners to the west. If enough of them are shot |
| out of the way, the Majini will be huddled in the stand and only be able to |
| knock aside a few boxes instead of a whole pile. It's quite hilarious to |

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Two more Majini will approach your characters from the south. Slash the stack
of --TOMATOES-- in front of the west building. A Majini will attack when your
characters step into the building (he drops through the roof). Slash the
--WOODEN CRATE-- inside the building. You'll find a broken ladder outside the
building to the south. A Majini will step out from the area behind the ladder.
Finish him off then ignore the ladder for now and enter the path behind it then
slash the --WOODEN CRATE-- on the table at the end.

Move along the rooftops and head to the north. Use the command to jump to the

shoot him at the peak of his climb as he tries to climb or allow him to come to
your side then blast him for a possible item.
You'll run across a --WOODEN BARREL-- along the alley as both characters work
their way to the southeast. A Majini will knock over the cardboard boxes that
cover a stand as the two characters walk by it. Slash the stack of

Sub-Boss --> Allyson (blonde woman)
My dear Allyson, Adam wouldn't even recognize you anymore... and he sure won't
in a few minutes, now that you've dared to raise those pretty little mouth
appendages to a Redfield. You get a Haymaker to that pretty little face for
that fright earlier, my dear... an uber Redfield Haymaker.
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| Right at the starting of the battle, if you want to tag team melee Allyson |
| in single player then shoot her in the arm, issue the "Go" command to Sheva,|
| perform a hook on Allyson then Sheva should be behind her to knee her back |
| to Chris. Perform the Haymaker from the front side or step around her |
| backside as she staggers to get the Back Hand command. |
| |
| It's so wrong and disrespectful, but it leaves me feeling so good when I |
| I think about it. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Directly after the cutscene, Allyson will attack both character. She is just
like an ordinary Majini except for the fact that she has a bit more health.
She has about the same amount of health as the Majini with the megaphone back
at the Public Assembly in Chapter 1-1.
Weaken Allyson and defeat her like you would a normal Majini then her head will
bust open to reveal a parasite called a Cephalo. These centipede-like head
appendages strike from medium to close range with their necks. In order to
defeat it, aim for the centipede head and fire at it with any weapon. The
handgun and machine gun really work the best since you can spam it with rapid
fire without knocking it down but if it gets too close then fire a shotgun
blast at it then empty handgun or machine gun bullets into its head while it's
down.
There is a way to avoid the Cephalo spawning however. Simply shoot Allyson in
the leg then run behind her and perform an instant kill melee attack with
either character. Problem solved. This works for any type of parasite
spawning while fighting a Majini. If you want to finish off Allyson in style
however, simply shoot her in an arm and bounce her back and forth then perform
a co-op melee attack against her to finish her off for good also. Go ahead and
perform that Skull Crusher that you're no doubt brainstorming.
Besides Allyson, other Majini will enter the building after a short while.

Description: Chain the maximum number of combos together in one go.
Details: In single player mode, right when the battle begins, shoot Allyson in
the arm for an arm stun, issue the "Go" command so that you're AI partner runs
behind her. Quickly hit Allyson with a melee attack from up close before she
recovers from the arm stun and your AI partner should be right behind her, so
that character can bounce her back. Let loose the tag team melee button input

Now, let us go back to the door at the end of the hall with oozing black liquid
that wreaks of death and unlock the door at the end then leave this area. A
cutscene will play once the characters step close to the end of the hall.
+ + + + + + + + + B O S S B A T T L E + + + + + + + + +
UROBOROS
--------
HP: 28,000
Weak Points: - Orange glowing portion of arms
- Brownish bubbling portion of collapsed body
- Weak against fire (incendiary grenade, incinerator)
Recommended - Gas Cylinder (shoot them with any weapon after absorption)
Weapon(s): - Incinerator
- Incendiary Grenades
- Any weapon to hit the glowing portion of arms (shotgun)
- Shotgun for showcased body weak point when collapsed
Attacks:
1) Right Arm Swing - Uroboros swings his right arm across the area in front of
him. This attack is mid and close range.
2) Turning Swing - While a character is behind him, Uroboros will swing at the
character with his arm while turning. This attack is very rare, much like
the Executioner Majini's turning swing.
3) Grab and Absorb - Uroboros reaches forward and grabs with both arms. The
partner must save the grabbed character with a partner assist melee or
the grabbed player must shake the left thumbstick to escape. The boss will
eventually let go after a while. He stretches his arms out almost as far as
he swings his arm for the other attack.
4) Lunging Grab - Uroboros ducks down then lunges forward to grab a
character. This grab looks much like the other grab but it is more sudden.
A button prompt that appears shortly before the grab will allow your
character to dodge out of the way of the grab.
5) Dash - Uroboros crouches down then scurries toward your characters. This
move can knock down a character that is in his way but it rarely does so.
6) Arm Extend Grab - From long range, Uroboros will lash out one or both
arms directly forward to grab. This attack can be performed when the boss
has one or both arms and it can be escaped by shaking the thumbstick or
through a partner assist melee.
7) Direct Contact - Any type of direct contact with this boss for a slightly
extended period of about 5 seconds will result in your character getting hit
and covered in a black leech-like substance. The character will hold
his/her body as if in caution status until the substance eventually
disappears. The substance drains your character's health much like a poison
for the first few seconds that it remains on the character. It will not
force a weak character into Dying status.
8) Dissolve - Uroboros can teleport from one area to another by simply
dissolving into the floor and reforming at some other part of the room.
It's a Super Marcus! Dr. Marcus must have somehow survived and taken all of
that mutating green ooze like Shredder in the second Ninja Turtles movie!
No, actually this creature is named Uroboros. Knowing too much about this
creature at this point is actually a spoiler. If you watched the opening movie
then you should realize that this is the man that was overtaken by the black
leech-like substance after the Bird Lady injected him.
You don't want to fight this boss in the current hallway, so turn and run all
the way back to the room with the incinerator. Fighting him in this hallway
with a normal weapon setup is meaningless since all he will do is push both
characters down the hall and into the room with the incinerator while he
damages them with direct contact to his leech-like body.
--> EXPOSING HIS WEAK POINTS
Allow the boss to enter the room and it will trigger a slight cutscene upon
stepping inside. This boss has two visible orange weak points on its arms and
both characters can shoot at the orange glowing weak points to knock off his
arms and stun him. The arms will constantly grow back at a quick rate, so both
characters have to destroy them quickly.
.---------------------------- SINGLE PLAYER TIPS -----------------------------.
| 1) In single player mode, set Sheva to attack mode and she will help out |
| greatly at damaging his arm weak points with her pinpoint accuracy with any |
| weapon. |
| |
| 2) If Uroboros grabs your character then tap the assist button while |
| struggling to have your partner save your character quicker. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> THE GAS CYLINDERS
You really want to use his arm weak points as a last resort however. Remember
the red gas cylinders along the sidewalls? Run toward one of them with either
character and use the command that appears while standing next to it to make
the character knock it down. Your character is not completely invincible to
attack while performing the knock down animation for the gas cylinder, so you
don't want to knock one over while the Uroboros is nearby. A lot of times, he
will not hit your character, but he can!
The boss will get the gas cylinder stuck in his leech-like body. Back away and
shoot the gas cylinder with any type of weapon to immediately stun the boss and
cause it to collapse. Its weak point will be showcased as the body beneath the
leech-like substance is showcased under the brownish bubbling liquid. Any
weapon fire from any weapon will damage it but close range shotgun blasts are
preferred.
--> THE INCINERATOR
The easiest way to dispose of this boss is to get him caught in the
incinerator. Allow him to pick up a fallen gas cylinder then lead him into the
incinerator. While he is in the incinerator, shoot the gas cylinder to stun
the boss then rush back outside the incinerator and use the controls to seal
the chamber and burn him. One burn will be enough to finish him off on normal
mode, but multiple burns in the incinerator are needed to finish him off on
Veteran mode. This method will help to save a bunch of ammo, but you might
forfeit a certain treasure in doing so.
In order to lead him into the incinerator, it is best for one character to lure
him inside while the other character waits outside the incinerator and stands
by the controls ready to flip the switch after the gas cylinder inside of him
is shot. On single player, walk over to the control and use the assist command
when Sheva is nearby to make her stand near the controls. She will not flip
the lever until the Uroboros is inside of the incinerator, so simply lead the
creature into the incinerator while it carries the gas cylinder then shoot the
cylinder and run out. Sheva will announce that she is flipping the switch and
your character will have a few seconds to get out before the incinerator
closes.
--> STANDING UP TO UROBOROS
The arm swipe and the two mid-range grabs can be avoided by simply backing up;
well, as long as you have room to back up. The arm extend grab can be avoided
with a sidestep to the left or right, but this move will be easier to avoid if
he only has one arm, obviously; it can also be avoided by backing up, really
far!
If the boss is beaten normally without the final hit being delivered by an
incinerator burn, he will drop a ++GOLD RING++ treasure item.

Move around the side of the crates to the north. Notice the C4 explosive
tripwire in between the crates. Take out the machine gun or handgun and shoot
the explosive or the tripwire to set it off from a safe distance. You'll run
across more of these as the characters progress forward. Keep in mind that the
characters can lead an enemy toward the explosive and set it off to damage the
enemy. Aim upwards and to the left then shoot the Majini with the crossbow
that will be alerted to your characters presence.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| It's possible to aim up toward the top left metal container when the cross- |
| bow Majini first arrives and shoot him to make him fall on the C4 explosive |
| below. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Continue around the corner and a Majini will be standing to the right. You can
take out your knife and slash him as he runs toward your characters since he
always dashes! Move on further ahead and quickly shoot the Majini with the
crossbow as he tries to run toward on a nearby crate. If he makes it to the
ladder then he will climb up it and try to shoot the character from above.
Another Majini will attack from off to the right (south). If you look to the
north before moving past the crates near the crossbow Majini then you'll notice
a tripwire. With steady aim a player can shoot the wire or a player can shoot
the actual explosive from the top of the crate near it.
Grab the ++GREEN HERB++ inside the crate to the east after turning left up
ahead. Climb the nearby ladder of the crate that the crossbow Majini ran to

NEW ENEMY: Adjule
A new enemy known as an "Adjule" (dog) will step into view. There are a total
of three inside the open crate up ahead. Take out the shotgun and shoot them
or blast them from far away with the handgun or machine gun. Don't let them
get too close. They have some very fast lunging attacks that can really leave
a player confused as to their location after they hit a character. These
enemies always attack in packs, so be prepared to deal with about two or three
at a time most of the time. Adjules come in three different sizes. They
become more ferocious and tougher when they're heads separate. A Majini with a
crossbow will be on top of the east metal container during the Adjule battle so
shoot him down or close to a wall so he can't hit the characters. Look around
the side of the crates to the north after the battle to find a --WOODEN
BARREL--.

[ ] Wooden Barrel - To the north of the open metal crate where the Adjules

Shoot the C4 explosive tripwire to the south and move around the side of the
crates ahead. A sinlge Majini will leap out from behind the end of the left
metal crate and attack. Climb the ladder on the side of the crate up ahead as
your characters turn back to the north then follow the path up above and drop
from the other end of the open crate.
A Majini to the west will notice the characters. Soon an Adjule will step into
view along with a new enemy known as the "Big Man Majini". Hurry up and step
out from behind the crates. There is a set of oil canister that can be shot in
front of the car in the open area. This will serve to damage the Big Man
Majini and other Majini and the Adjules that attack.
NEW ENEMY: Big man Majini
Use your shotgun for this part while the other character uses a handgun or
machine gun. You need to focus on the Big Man Majini once he steps into view.
He hits very hard with constant straight punches and an overhead physical
attack with his fists. The best way to deal with him is to take out the
shotgun and blast him from close range to stagger him then rush up toward him
and melee attack him. Blast him again then repeat and keep repeating.
The Big Man Majini can also be take down with a handgun if a character
constantly blasts his legs then runs up to melee attack him when he falls to
his knees. The Big Man Majini can also be set up for a tag team melee after
any type of melee performed to him. The characters can easily turn Big Man
into a punching bag through constant bouncing melee attack after the first
melee. A flash grenades stun can set him up for a tag team melee very easily.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT ALERT _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Trophy/Achievement: The Works
Description: Chain the maximum number of combos together in one go.
Details: In single player mode, lead the Big Man Majini away from the other
enemies, preferably in the narrow area, and use a flash grenade to stun the Big
Man Majini then quickly run behind him and knock him toward your AI partner. If
your AI partner knocks him back then hit him with the tag team melee command
that will appear in order to get this trophy/achievement. This can be done
against all Big Man Majini rather easily, so if you can't get it here then
you'll have more chances later on.
You could also toss the flash grenade then quickly use the "Go" command to make
your AI partner rush to the other side of the Big Man Majini to set up the
placement for the tag team melee nicely. No flash grenade is really needed if
your character uses a handgun and aims for his legs.
Big Man Majini are easier to work into a tag team sequence than normal Majini
because they don't stagger per hit; they only slide just a bit per melee
attack.

The Majini and Adjules can get in the way quite a bit while attacking the Big

ladders of the crates to the west to get to high ground, so be ready to look up
and blast them.

Break open the two --WOODEN CRATES-- on the sandbags ahead. Walk toward the

ahead? They will come in handy in a moment. Leap to the other side of the

A cutscene will trigger after leaping to the other side of the bridge. A truck
is coming and I don't think uber Redfield has enough strength to stop it with
his bare hands - sometimes I wonder though. Anyway, aim for the closest red
explosive barrel to the right and shoot it when the truck passes by the side of
the explosive barrel to cause an explosion that will make the truck fall over
and slide the rest of the way toward the characters. If you're not precise or
quick enough then truck will ram the two characters and kill them. The truck
can still damage the characters when it slides toward them fast, but when it
slows down quite a bit it is no longer a threat.
A whole horde of Majini will attack from the north side of the bridge up ahead.
Thankfully, they conveniently stand near the left and right red explosive
barrels in the back of the bridge, so take advantage of their red color
blindness then shoot the two barrels to take out several of them with each
explosion. Run ahead and finish off the remainder of them. I don't know about
you, but I feel some tag team melees are needed here.
Run to the warehouse to the far north and break open the two --WOODEN BARRELS--
inside and find the --WOODEN CRATE-- on the east side of the warehouse. There
is also a --WOODEN BARREL-- outside of the warehouse near the sidewall to the

Move down the stairs and enter the sewer tunnel below. Keep moving ahead and
three Adjules will race down the tunnel toward the characters. Both characters
need to concentrate fire here or the Adjules will get past your shots. A

tunnel is narrow. Two more Adjules will attack once the characters move
further into the tunnel. Continue to follow the sewer tunnel as it splits to
the east.
Open the door ahead then move around the corner. Shoot the rats for extra gold

Notice all the Majini to the right up ahead. I bet they'll get up in a second
and try to scare us. Let's move toward them and humor them.
Good freaking god! That makes me want to curl into a fetal position just
thinking about the pain.
NEW ENEMY: Kipepeo
An enemy known as a Kipepeo will bust out of the back of the fallen Majini.
These enemies like to fly overhead and grab your characters with their tail
appendage. Stand back and shoot them with a close shotgun blast or use the
handgun or machine gun. Keep backing up if they move forward in order to avoid
their grab.
A total of three Kipepeo will spawn from the Majini in the waterway. The
Majini at the far end will get up and attack like normal but, once he is shot a
few times, his head will bust open to reveal yet another Kipepeo. Keep in mind
that any Majini that the characters fight in the next few areas might spawn a
Kipepeo without any warning.
The Kipepeos will leave behind ammo and other items just like the Majini so be
sure to watch for it - by now you know that all B.O.W.'s carry gold and ammo,
right? T and G-virus cretins were just concealing it well in the past games.
I suspect those Alpha Hunters back at the Spencer Estate probably had US
dollars, coin currency, gold necklaces, gold teeth, and diamond rings on them
if we would have looked more closely.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Instead of fighting the Kipepeos, the character could simply shoot the lock |
| on the gate door ahead from the other side of the screen then run and open |
| the door as they spawn and move down the tunnel to avoid the battle. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Break the lock on the door ahead by kicking or shooting it then enter the dark
tunnel ahead. We have some very nice lighting effects here. Shoot the rats
for some extra gold. Climb the ladder at the far end of the tunnel.
The characters will climb up to a port area. If you look closely, a Majini
will run by to the side; he off to the north past the boats as the two
characters step into view. If you can manage to walk around the side of the
building, arm your S75 rifle quick enough (on a second playthrough) and shoot
him then he will leave behind a ++DIAMOND (PEAR)++ treasure on the other side.
Run quickly over to that side and grab it.

You fear the tag team melee addiction of almighty Berserker! Run now and tell
all your friends about me.
The east gate is locked and requires a key. Slash the ++MELONS++ on the west

stack of ++MELONS++ along the north side but it doesn't hold anything special.

\ EMBLEM / DETAILS: To the south of the middle group of stands is a closed
\________/ green building. Walk toward the building counter and aim upward
then look at the ceiling to see this BSAA emblem. You can
actually see it glimmering through the crack of the other side
also. This building is very small - smaller than a stand.

Find the padlocked door across from the middle set of stands. Break the
padlock and enter the building.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| You can enter this room by knocking off the padlock or you can jump through |
| the window in the back. Majini will attack after you get a key item |
| inside, so if you want to play it safe then jump through window in the back |
| and this will make it to where they have to move through the window to get |
| to your characters. You can stand inside the building and knife slash them |
| as they try. Even the Big Man Majini will fall victim to this though he |
| can get by the knife slashes at times. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Slash the --TOMATOES-- to the right after entering the building. A dead corpse
hangs from the middle of the room. He has a meat hook stabbed through his
neck. Shoot the key on the meat hook and it will fall. Pick up the **PORT

[ ] Port Key - Hanging from the hook on the hanging dead corpse. Shoot it to

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The moment the Port Key is grabbed, several Majini and a Big Man Majini will
surround the building and enter it to attack. If you didn't break the padlock
then they can only get in through the window, so you can easily stand and fight
them off from inside the building but if you did break the padlock then it will
be best to fight them outside to keep them to one side more easily rather than
having them come from two separate directions.
Try to take down the Big Man Majini first by using shotgun blast to knock him
back then run up and melee attack him or one character could blast him in the
legs with a handgun then run up and melee him. The other Majini shouldn't be
too much of a problem, but you might have to break out the shotgun if they
begin to crowd around too much.

Kick through the blue door or carefully open it then move around the side of
the building. Chris players can take out the rifle and look through the window
near the wooden door up ahead then blast the single Majini standing near the
window - the rest won't attack yet. Pick up the ++GREEN HERB++ near the fence.
The Majini will notice your character in due time and open the door to the
building on the left, so you might as well kick down the door and start
shooting.

Pick up the ++HANDGUN AMMO++ on the shelf across from the middle table. You
might want to hop through the window on the other side and break the --WOODEN

room via the window takes you back to the beginning path basically. Both
characters started down the left side of the outside path. Get back into the
room and kick back through the door on the other side.
--> BOTH PATHS MEET HERE
Alright, so now we're outside the building. Pick up the ++GREEN HERB++ near
the fence if you haven't yet. Move along the path that leads to the hill up
ahead. There are two --WOODEN CRATES-- on a table off to the left right near
the building that both characters just exited from.

Move up the hill and a slight cutscene will play.
Two Kipepeos will continue their descent and begin to attack after the
cutscene, so shoot them with your handgun. Sheva's machine gun also works very
well at damaging them with its rapid fire and Chris' rifle can knock them down
with one shot. Aim carefully since they sometimes wave around a bit while
flying downward. You might want to back down the hill just a bit as they
descend so they will be closer and usually more still while you fire.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| (1) The Kipepeos cannot move under any portion of the Slaughterhouse |
| rooftop, so both of your characters can run under the roof then stand |
| back and shoot them safely from a distance. Kipepeos cannot move under |
| any rooftop of fly though a doorway. |

| (2) A player equipped with a rifle can stand at the bottom of the hill and |
| tell a partner to move forward to and activate the helicopter cutscene |
| by issuing the "Go" command while the player with a rifle stands at the |
| bottom of hill. The rifle player can easily aim and snipe both |
| Kipepeos with the rifle from the bottom of the hill. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Continue up the hill. While standing below the ladder, you'll get a button
prompt with either character. Basically press the B button when the "Assist"
command appears and have the character walk toward the partner and press the
button that appears. Sheva will be hoisted up to the ladder and she will climb
on top of the roof.

From the moment that you regain control of Sheva, arm the machine gun then
aimed toward the Majini with the cocktails off to the left and tap the trigger
once to defeat him instantly and make a Kipepeo spawn from his body. Pick up
the ++MACHINE GUN AMMO (+30)++ and the ++RIFLE AMMO (+5)++ from the long
platform along the middle portion of the roof then break the --WOODEN CRATE--
on the raised portion on the right side of the roof. There is some ++HANDGUN
AMMO (+10)++ near the railing along the far side of the roof as well as another
--WOODEN BARREL-- on the far left side.
Sheva mainly needs to watch out for the Majini with the crossbow and the
Kipepeos that spawns from the Majini with cocktails. If the Kipepeo flies
toward Sheva after shooting the Majini with the cocktails then make defeating
it your first priority and then quickly shoot the Majini with the crossbow.
Sheva can actually stand behind a wooden wall on the right side up ahead across
from the ladder that will shield her from the flaming bolts.

The Majini with the cocktails will spawn a Kipepeo from its head, so be ready
to blast it with the machine gun if Chris doesn't shoot it. Use the remaining
time to help out Chris while he fights the Majini groups below the building.
Stand and blast them with the handgun or machine gun to help out Chris. Try
not to interrupt the player if Chris has things under control with his melee
attacks.
Whether or not you hop back down the ladder or not at this point depends upon
you. When Chris moves up to the door up the stairs ahead, Sheva can help out
fairly well here. Equip the Machine Gun and aim down at the Majini then barely
tap the trigger while aiming at their legs, head or shoulders and this will put
them in a stunned position where Chris can hit them with melee attacks. If the
Chris player realizes what Sheva is doing this can go extremely well. Either
way, the Chris player should begin to realize the stunned Majini in front of
Chris. Sheva needs to watch Chris' back and protect him from any Majini that
might sneak up behind him as well. Shoot any Majini that get near him and try
to blast them in vital areas to stun them for Chris to melee attack them.
In order to get off the rooftop, Sheva will have to jump back down from the
side with the ladder and move around the side of the building to rejoin Chris.

Chris needs to go around the left side of the building. There is a breakable
--WOODEN BARREL-- down a path to the immediate right after moving around the
side corner of the building.

.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| If you want AI Sheva to get off the building and rejoin Chris then tap the |
| Assist button to issue a "Cover" assist command and she will usually jump |
| off the building and meet up with Chris. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Chris will have to deal with a small group of Majini as they move down the hill
directly ahead of him. There is also a Majini with a cocktail on the ledge
directly ahead. Shoot at the Majini up the hill and prepare to back up as the
Majini on the ledge tosses cocktails toward Chris; he might toss them toward
Sheva. The cocktails can damage the Majini below, so he might actually do
Chris a favor if you back up when he tosses the cocktails. You'll eventually
need to shoot the Majini on the ledge if Sheva doesn't shoot it for you.
The Majini with the cocktail will spawn a Kipepeo from his head, so prepare to
shoot it with the handgun or rifle. The rifle really works the best since it
is at such a distance - simply shoot the Majini then equip the rifle and blast
the Kipepeo as it spawns. It will fly toward either Chris while he is
stationed below or Sheva while she is up on the building, so be sure to take it
down.
After the Kipepeo is defeated, move further up the hill and a group of Majini
will bust through the door of the building at the top of the stairs. Shoot at
them from below the stairs and aim for a vital area on them such as the head or
legs then run up and knock the whole crowd down with a melee attack. If Sheva
didn't do a good job of surveying the area then a Majini with a crossbow will
be at the top of the steps. Sometimes a Majini will hang around inside of the
building up ahead as well. If you have a hand grenade here then toss it up the
stairs and this should defeat the majority of the Majini.
Sheva should come and join Chris in just a minute. If she doesn't then call to
her with the B button or tell the other player to climb down the ladder and get
their ass in gear.

Make an immediate left and enter the restroom area. Move over to the last
stall and prepare to shoot the Majini standing in that stall; he might rush
toward your character. Pick up the ++HANGUN AMMO (+10)++ where the Majini was
standing then break the --WOODEN BARREL-- next to the nearby sink.
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| Equip the knife and face the Majini as he runs out of the stall then slash |

Walk back out of the restroom then continue on up ahead. Grab the ++RED HERB++

down the second set of stairs at the top and another will enter the area from
the doorway that leads out to the left walkway. Be sure to watch both of them
as you shoot so one doesn't get the drop on your character.
Run off to the left while on the second floor then pick up the ++HAND GRENADE++
from the chair off to the left and step out onto the outside walkway then grab
the other ++HAND GRENADE++ off to the left. If you walk over to the right past
the metal drum and look up while out on the walkway, you'll see that the next
floor is broken and has a dropoff where one can easily get back to this floor.
Chris should keep that broken side of the above ledge in mind. Run back into
the building then climb the next set of stairs.

.--------------- FIRST FLOOR METAL DOOR LOCK GLITCH/EXPLOIT ------------------.
| While on the second floor, it is possible to arm a grenade and stand on the |
| right side of the third column to the right on the outside walkway of the |
| current building and arm a hand grenade then toss the grenade against the |
| yellow Animal Health sign of the BG Production building next door so that |
| it bounces off the sign and lands in front of the red metal door below, |
| which will break the lock. The correct targeting for tossing the grenade |
| is to aim directly at the sign with both character and aim a little |
| downward. |
| |
| You can also bounce a grenade off the side of the third floor walkway of |
| the other building or you can toss it toward the right edge of the wall on |
| while on the third floor of the current building. There's a variety of |
| ways to bounce the grenade, as long as it fall in front of the door below. |
| |
| Sheva can hit the lock from the third floor of the BG Production building |
| after Chris tosses her over if you toss a grenade down at the red metal |
| door while standing on the edge of the third floor. The aiming can be |
| quite hard. You actually have to aim like Sheva is about to throw the |
| grenade at the concrete floor because of the camera. |
| |
| Sheva can also hit the lock from the second floor of the BG Production |
| building if you run to the side with the slightly destroyed railing and |
| toss a grenade down at the door. She can also shoot the lock with the |
| handgun or rifle. Keep in mind that the Majini will be moving up the |
| stairs while Sheva is on the second floor. |
| |
| ** Breaking the lock before Sheva falls to the second floor of the BG |
| Production building will automatically cancel the first wave of Majini |
| that normally attack Sheva. |
| |
| No matter which method is chosen, your character (or Chris, if Sheva is |
| tossed over) can run to the stairs and activate the Chainsaw Majini |
| cutscene and this will skip the first and second wave of Majini that appear |
| in the area outside of the current building. |
| |
| One interesting aspect of this glitch is that if the first wave of Majini |
| have already appeared then they will disappear immediately following the |
| Chainsaw Majini cutscene. If Chris or Sheva stall outside the building for |
| too long after opening the red metal door (if the first wave hasn't |
| appeared) then the battle music will eventually play and the second wave of |
| Majini will appear. |

Run out onto the outside walkway. Move toward the far end that faces the
outside building for an assist jump prompt. Don't jump just yet! The Chris
player needs the S75 rifle for this part, so give him the rifle if you have it

up onto the rooftop of the current building then shoot the --BSAA EMBLEM

,------------------------- ADVICE FOR A CHRIS PLAYER -------------------------,
| Before Sheva is tossed to the other building, a Chris player needs to take |
| the rifle since a rifle is very much needed for the next segment of |
| gameplay. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Walk toward the edge that faces the BG Building next door and use the partner
assist prompt to help Sheva jump to the building across from the current one.

Sheva will land on the roof of the BG Production building next door. Take some
time to break the --WOODEN BARREL-- off to the left then hop down to the floor
below by leaping off the ledge ahead.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Wooden Barrel - To the left on the top ledge of the BG Building [Sheva
only].

corner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look behind Sheva as she lands and break the --WOODEN BARREL-- in the northeast
corner while on the second floor.
Sheva will have her work cut out for her here as a group of Majini move up the
stairs off to her right. There is an explosive barrel nearby. You can wait
for Majini to pile up near it now and shoot them or wait until later in the
battle and shoot the barrel. It's a little hard to hit it later in the battle
at times with all the Majini in the way. Either way, allow them to gather near
it then shoot it.
It's best for Sheva to stand in the corner where the breakable barrel is (or
was) to make sure that no Majini sneak behind her. Sheva mainly needs to keep
a sharp eye out for the Majini with flaming crossbows that will stand near the
stairs and shoot at her.
When several Majini rush toward Sheva in a group you need to either shoot one
of them in the head and run up to him then roundhouse kick him and the rest of
the crowd or take out the Machine Gun and spread fire through the group then
run up and hit any of them that are stunned in a pose that will give Sheva a
button prompt for a melee attack. Melee attacks are very helpful in this area
for both the invincible animation and the multiple knockdowns that they cause.
If Sheva has a grenade then you might want to toss it at the group of Majini if
they start to build up around the area.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| Arm the machine gun then wait near the stacked pipes across from the red |
| explosive barrel then aim toward the top of the stairs. As the Majini run |
| toward Sheva, tap the trigger button while aiming at their legs to either |
| stun them or knock them down. Try to keep them grounded for as long as |
| possible and they will begin to mount up beside the red barrel. At the |
| last possible moment, shoot the red barrel. If a Majini tosses a weapon at |
| you then immediately shoot the red barrel and the explosion will deflect |
| it. Sheva will be close enough to the barrel where it will make her throw |
| up her arms, so she'll also get invincibility during this animation from |
| possible bolts fired at her at that time also. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Sheva needs to make her way downstairs and break the lock on the door of the
building across from the BG Production building. It's best to fight off all
the current Majini then move down the stairs and run toward the door, but keep
in mind that Sheva can still open it while Majini are still in the area if you
want Chris to help out. Walk toward the red double doors and Sheva will get a
button prompt command while facing it. Press the X button to kick at the lock.
Three kicks should break it. You can also shoot the lock.
.-------------------------- EXTRA (W/SLIGHT SPOILER) -------------------------.
| If Sheva does not open the door for Chris (during co-op), the battle music |
| will continue to play but the final wave of Majini will not appear. Sheva |
| can actually move up the stairs to the east by herself and trigger the |
| Chainsaw Majini fight while Chris is still locked up. The Chainsaw Majini |
| fight will carry on like normal, except Chris will still be trapped in the |
| nearby building. Be forewarned that the Chainsaw Majini can break the lock |
| to the door where Chris is located however! |

to shoot the Majini with the flaming crossbows '----------------------------'
that tend to stand near the stairs and shoot at her from a distance since Sheva
will most likely be so busy with the group of Majini running at her, she won't
have time to hit these distant pests.
.--------------------------------- MAJOR TIP ---------------------------------.
| If you're not that good at sniping like yours truly, stand on the far right |
| side of the walkway and toss a hand grenade at the stairs the second you |
| hear Sheva fall and this will take out a good majority of the first few |
| Majini. You can continue to toss grenades at the stairs as they continue |
| to move up them or toss a grenade at the ground outside of the BG |
| Production building - don't forget about the red barrel! |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Wait for the Majini to stand still then aim for the head and shoot while using
the rifle and you'll get a guaranteed head explosion on each one. If you're
playing in single player and Sheva manages to get by the Majini on the stairs
and starts to move downstairs then she is heading for the door below, so
quickly run down the stairs of the building and join her.
Once the coast is clear, Chris should run back down to the first floor and
await Sheva's arrival near the metal red double doors that are locked. Use the
Action button near the door to kick on the locked doors a few times with Chris
if Sheva suddenly starts to daydream and that should get her attention.

Once Chris is through the doors, both characters will be reunited right before
another Majini ambush! Majini will eventually hop over the fence in the west
and attack then some others will appear from the east. Try not to let them
surround your characters. You might want to enter either of the nearby
buildings or duck into the alley by the building. The red explosive barrels
can be used to defeat a whole group of them at once, but you really need to
save those explosive barrels for another enemy that will attack in this area in
just a few moments.

Destroy the --WOODEN CRATE-- on the table near the red explosive barrel outside
of the building that Sheva was in then enter the bottom floor of the building.
Destroy both of the --WOODEN CRATES-- on each of the wooden tables inside. You
can move up to the second floor via the staircase but it won't do Chris much
good unless Sheva didn't break the wooden barrel up there - AI Sheva has a
habit of leaving it behind. Exit the building through the back entrance then
make an immediate left and follow the path to the dead end then break open the
--WOODEN CRATE-- on the set of boards. Down the other end of the path there is
a --WOODEN BARREL-- in a corner at the turn.

CHAINSAW MAJINI
---------------
HP: 10,000
Great. A chainsaw. Keep in mind that if the Chainsaw Majini hits your
character with his chainsaw blade then it will register as an instant kill for
that character much like Dr. Salvador's fine blade in Resident Evil 4 or it
will leave your character in dying status. See his two different attacks
below.
Attacks:
1) Crazed Swing: Pretty much like it sounds, the Chainsaw Majini will hold his
chainsaw up into the air and then laugh maniacally as he swings his blade
forward. Unlike his other attack, this chainsaw swing is not an instant
kill however. If this attack hits your character, it will immediately send
that character into dying status.
2) Focused Swing: This is the swing to end them all as well as your character's
life. If the Chainsaw Majini performs a much less charged and quieter swing
rather than laughing then the blade will slice right into your character's
neck and the Chainsaw Majini will continue to drive the blade across the
neck until your characters head rolls off. The death cutscene plays on both
screens while on either online service in order for both players to witness
the love that was dished out in that one fatal swing.
--> TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS BATTLE...
Single Player:
Have the rifle equipped before the cutscene ends then zoom in on the Chainsaw
Majini's head and blast him in the head to stun him. Run up to the Majini and
blast him a few times in the head with the handgun then perform a melee attack
by inputting the melee attack button command that appears. Be sure to run by
him to force AI Sheva into getting in a hit as well if you have her set to
"Cover" mode. You could keep running away and shooting him in the head for a
stun then melee him throughout the remainder of the battle if you can watch for
the other Majini around the area.
Always try to make sure that the first rifle shot hits the Chainsaw Majini
while attempting to shoot him directly after the cutscene in single player
mode. If the shot misses then the shell ejection animation from the rifle shot
will leave Chris open to a chainsaw slice.
Co-op:
(Recommended)
1) One character (whichever) can stand at the bottom of the stairs and take on
the Majini that appear while the other character fights the Chainsaw Majini.
The character that fights the Chainsaw Majini needs to aim at his head with the
handgun (or any other weapon) and fire off two shots (differs depending on
weapon) then run in and fire off a few more shots shortly before hitting him
with a melee attack. Right after hitting him, quick turn and run a few steps
away then turn and repeat (shoot him in the head to stun him again). With good
aim and a good partner that will keep the other Majini busy, you'll be able to
finish him shortly. If you use some of the maximum aggression methods labeled
further below, then he will fall extremely fast by doing this.
(Alternate)
2) One character can equip the rifle and stand at the bottom of the stairs or
really far away (other side of the screen) while Sheva moves up the stairs to
trigger the cutscene. After the cutscene, zoom in and aim for the Chainsaw
Majini's head with the rifle while the Chainsaw Majini chases the other player
then shoot the Majini in the head. Each successful shot to the head will stun
the Majini, allowing the other player to spam the Chainsaw Majini with shotgun
fire to the head shortly before melee attacking it. You could actually keep
this up with Sheva serving as bait to distract the Chainsaw Majini away from
the rifle player while that player shoots the Chainsaw Majini in the head from
a distance. It's good for both players to watch out for each other when the
Majini start to appear. A rifle player could easily shoot them in the head for
instant kills.
3) One character can stand at the bottom of the stairs while the other moves up
the stairs. After the cutscene, aim up at the transformer on the metal pole
then shoot it right when the Chainsaw Majini is at the bottom of the stairs to
electrify him. You can keep running back and forth to the transformer for the
rest of the battle and shoot it when the Chainsaw Majini is nearby to send
another blast of electricity out of it. You could easily mix this method in
with any other method, just keep the power box in mind.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------,
| Both Sheva and Chris can stun the Majini by hitting it in the head, |
| shoulders or legs to eventually stun him to where both characters can get a |
| button prompt for a melee attack. Be sure that both characters hit the |
| Chainsaw Majini with a melee attack when nearby. If you're playing on |
| single player then have Sheva set to "Cover" mode and run behind the |
| Chainsaw Majini after Chris' melee attack to have Sheva follow up with one |
| of her own. Keep in mind that the absolute weakest portion of the Chainsaw |
| Majini is head - a few shots from any weapon will stun him quickly when hit |
| in the head. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> RIFLE STRATEGY
Shooting the Chainsaw Majini in the head with the rifle will always stun him if
he is he moving normally. The rifle is the absolute best weapon for Chris or
Sheva to use during this fight while engaged in a co-op game. Your AI partner
will usually provide distraction for the other Majini. Be sure to keep your
distance from the Chainsaw Majini and don't ever shoot when he is close to
Chris unless you are definitely going to hit him, if not, then the shell
ejection animation during the missed shot might just sign your death warrant,
my friend. Make sure there are no enemies around whenever Chris needs to
reload.
While in single player mode, this can still be one of the absolute best ways to
finish off the Chainsaw Majini quickly. You see, shoot him in the head to stun
him then run up to him and hit him with the melee attack then run past him
while Sheva is in "Cover" mode and she will follow up with a melee attack of
her own. The main player can toss a grenade afterward to restun the Chainsaw
Majini - look toward the ground and toss it right in front of your character
since the Chainsaw Majini will most likely be very close by.
The Chainsaw Majini stays stunned for quite a while after shooting him in head
so you could run up to him and blast him in the head a few times with the
handgun or once with the rifle before hitting him with a melee attack!
--> LURE STRATEGY
A player can serve as bait to lure the Chainsaw Majini away from the other
while the character with the rifle concentrates on shooting the Chainsaw Majini
in the head with his rifle. Use the Machine Gun and Handgun to fire at the
Majini and keep it chasing Sheva - try to aim for its head. Don't ever reload
your Machine Gun while an enemy (especially the Chainsaw Majini) is nearby.
Whenever the Chainsaw Majini is shot in the head with the rifle, quickly run up
to the Chainsaw Majini and hit him with constant gunfire from any weapon then
quickly perform a melee attack right before he recovers. Switch between
weapons in tough situations when your character doesn't have time to reload.
--> CO-OP STRATEGY
A player can easily stand back and use the rifle to perform a quick headshot to
stun the Chainsaw Majini while the other serves as bait then the lure player
can rush into the Majini while it is stunned and get close and blast the
Chainsaw Majini in the head or body with a weapon until the weapon is fully
empty (don't reload) then perform a melee attack. The player with the rifle
should stay far away and view the battle through the sniper scope then shoot
the Chainsaw Majini in the head again when he recovers. The other player can
reload right after a melee attack or, better yet, perform a quick inventory
reload by combining the ammo with the machine gun during the melee attack
animation. The player with the rifle can also rush in and perform the
character's own melee attack after the other player's but you'll have to
quickly gain some distance again.
A lure player should try to keep an eye on the rifle player's backside and
quickly blast any Majini that try to sneak up behind him since he'll be
performing precision aiming while the Majini appear around the building area. A
rifle player should remain focused on stunning the Chainsaw Majini with a
headshot. It helps to move around a bit if you think some Majini might be
approaching your character from behind; all you really have to do is run
forward and bit when Majini start to appear behind the character then you'll
have time to perform a quick headshot. It's really best if the rifle player
reloads by combining the ammo with the rifle via the inventory menu during the
clip ejection animation in between shots.
--> SHOOT THE BARRELS
Lure the Chainsaw Majini toward one of the four red barrels found in between
the buildings and shoot the red barrel to cause an explosion that will stun him
if he is close. If he is not close enough then the blast will simply stagger
him for a few seconds. Be sure to stay far enough away from the red barrel so
your character doesn't get caught up in the blast. The red explosive barrels
have a much greater blast radius then you might expect so be careful if this
your first time to experiment with them.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| If your partner happens to be standing next to a red barrel right when the |
| the Chainsaw Majini is about to hit that character with its chainsaw then |
| quickly aim toward the barrel and shoot it. It might damage your character |
| or it might not. Your character might throw up his/her arms in response to |
| the blast rendering them invincible for a few seconds or the blast might |
| hit that character and take away some health. Either way, it is better |
| than instant death. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> A MOST GRUESOME GAME OF TAG
Both characters will have to stay on the move throughout this entire battle.
You'll need to constantly look out for Majini that enter the area and you'll
really need to listen for the roar of the chainsaw. The Chainsaw Majini takes
quite a while to prepare his fatal chainsaw death blow, but when you're stuck
in a reloading animation, that fatal blow animation time could never go by any
faster! It kind of sounds like this: (A REVVING CHAINSAW BLADE MUFFLES OUT ALL
OTHER SOUNDS) TAG! GRINDING NOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIISSSSSSES- YOU'RE IT! (BODY
COLLAPSES IN FAILURE FOR BOTH PLAYERS TO SEE). His attack where he charges his
swing longer (and laughs) is not fatal but it will drain your character down
dying status if it connects.
The main path that you'll want to take during this fight is to move through the
alley in the back of the BG Production building then kick through (or if you
destroyed it) run through the doorway and then step through the building again
to reenter the area in front of it. You can keep circling this entire area in
this way to stay away from the Chainsaw Majini. You can also take the battle
upstairs to the second floor of the BG Production building where some objects
lie in the middle of the room; the objects can serve as a barrier while you
circle around this floor. Don't every try to meet up with Chainsaw Majini on
the staircase. It's also possible to take this fight back toward the beginning
of this stage if you so desire.
You really don't have to worry about getting hit by his chainsaw whenever your
character dashes next to him but he will most likely try to take a swing at
your character, so be quick! He has a long recovery time after each
unsuccessful slice so that time can be used to blast him.
Keep these tips in mind:
- An Incendiary Grenade will stun the Chainsaw Majini afterwards if he is
caught in the flames (he staggers)
- A Hand Grenade explosion will cause him to crouch down.
- Directly after a melee attack, depending on the landscape, your character can
toss a hand grenade directly at the ground while facing the Chainsaw Majini
as the Chainsaw Majini recovers and the grenade will go off and restun him.
This is a trap if you can keep this up - melee, grenade, melee, grenade, etc.
- If your partner is about to get hit with the chainsaw and there is a red
barrel nearby the partner, shoot the red barrel with your gun. Hey, at least
it will save them from instant death.
.---------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------.
| Be very careful while healing your partner while your partner is close to |
| the Chainsaw Majini. A single heal at the wrong time will make the |
| characters stand together just long enough for the Chainsaw Majini to rev |
| up his blade and hit both characters. Try to quickly stun the Majini with |
| headshots if your partner is near him and in dying status or extremely low |
| in health then heal your partner quickly while the Chainsaw Majini is |
| stunned. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> MAXIMUM AGGRESSION METHOD
- RIFLE PLAYER
A player can take the Chainsaw Majini on solely with a rifle and have the
Chainsaw Majini dead in a few minutes if both him and the other player work
together. It's very risky since one missed headshot from close range might
just equal the rifle player's death but if you're aim is good then there won't
be any problems. Have the player without the rifle wait at the bottom of the
stairs then arm the rifle and move up the stairs to trigger the fight.
When the battle begins, aim for the Chainsaw Majini's head with the rifle scope
and blast him directly in the head to stun him. Run up to the Chainsaw Majini
enough to where the melee command button prompt for hitting will appear then
fire off at least two rifle blasts directly at any portion of his body. Cancel
the final blast into a melee attack then quickly pull up the inventory menu and
reload by combining the ammo with the rifle. Quick turn away then run down the
stairs just a bit then quick turn around and blast him in the head again.
Rinse and repeat this sequence and the Chainsaw Majini will fall very quickly.
It is possible to get in three full rifle blasts before ending the sequence of
shots with the melee attack but you have to perform the head stun shot very
close.
The entire sequence is a complete trap for as long as you can keep it up.
Sheva should stay at the bottom of the stairs and fight off the Majini that hop
into the area below. Keep them away from the stairs so Chris can focus on his
aiming.
- SHOTGUN PLAYER
Shotgun players can be just as aggressive with the shotgun while close. Simply
stun the Chainsaw Majini with two handgun shots or one well aimed shotgun blast
from close range then run up to him and fill him full of shotgun blasts then
melee attack him. Quickly reload through inventory then quick turn and run
away a bit then arm the handgun or shotgun and stun him again.
The rifle player can help out by stunning the Chainsaw Majini with a rifle shot
to head while he is at the bottom of the stairs. Be sure to watch for the
Majini that jump into the area from below however.
- COMBINING THE TWO AGGRESSION METHODS
If two players work together and combine both aggression methods then the
Chainsaw Majini will die extremely quickly. The main bad part about combining
both aggression methods is that the Majini below the stairs will eventually
move up the stairs and start attacking. You might be able to take down the
Chainsaw Majini before they make it up the stairs though.
For both character methods, a character should never melee attack the Chainsaw
Majini early or it will end the prolonged stun. Always survey the situation
below the stairs when quick turning with either character.
--> IF YOUR PARTNER HITS THE CHAINSAW MAJINI WITH A MELEE ATTACK EARLY
If you're going for the gunshot + melee cancel method that I mentioned above
and your partner rushes in and performs a melee, you can still get off one
final shot along with a melee cancel. Run up to the Chainsaw Majini as he
staggers then perform a quick blast with either the rifle or a few shots from
the machine gun or handgun then cancel the final blast into a melee
immediately. With the shotgun, you can get off about a good 3-4 shots before
he recovers and still have a chance to melee attack him.
.------------------------------------- TIP -----------------------------------.
| Any of the above methods can be speeded up greatly by tossing hand grenades |
| at the Chainsaw Majini while he is stunned to intensify the damage done. |
| Remember that a single Incendiary Grenade will instantly stun him as he |
| burns in the fire. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> CHAINSAW MAJINI EXPLOITS
- If the transformer is on the ground and electrified, the Chainsaw Majini
might get stuck behind it to where he will continually run into it while trying
to get to your character. If this occurs, simple stand in place and shoot the
electric transformer every now and then to keep it electrified while you
chuckle at his stupidity.
- Lure the Chainsaw Majini onto the broken down bus by moving up either ramp
along the side of the bus then drop from the driver's side of the bus. While
the Chainsaw Majini drops from the bus, shoot him. You can keep luring him
onto the bus to make him drop again. This is some very valuable info for knife
runs since he can be slashed while he drops or steps up onto the bus.
- Lure the Chainsaw Majini back to the first building where Chris and Sheva can
perform the partner action that will hoist Sheva up to the building. The neat
thing about doing this is that the Majini will usually come after Sheva at this
point by climbing the ladder, so all she has to do is stand at the top and
slash them back down with the knife. The Chris player can focus on the
Chainsaw Majini at this point. Keep in mind that both characters are not
invincible during their ready poses for the partner action setup by they are
invincible once the hoisting command has begun. This will not work well in
single player mode since the AI partner will automatically fall down the ladder
to "help" the player. If you're performing a knife run through co-op play, try
this and get back to me on how well it went.
- Lure the Chainsaw Majini all the way back to the Slaughterhouse at the
beginning of the stage. Make him follow your character toward the window then
hop through the window. The Chainsaw Majini will refuse to climb through the
window and you can shoot him while he is on the other side. He will take the
long way around and choose to move through the blue door outside of the
Slaughterhouse. Simply hop back through the window when he gets close. You
can keep this loop up and he will he will always choose to move through the
blue door. It's good to destroy the wooden door in the Slaughterhouse while
doing this so you don't have to kick it open on your way back - the Chainsaw
Majini will destroy it himself if you don't however. This is also valuable
info for knife runs since he can be slash from the other side of the window.
- When your character hops through the window of the Slaughterhouse, the
chainsaw Majini will always run toward the blue door and his AI is bound and
determined to open that door, so you can follow him and blast him along the
way. He opens every door by hitting it with his chainsaw and he has some hefty
recovery time from doing this and you can get in a few good shots while he does
this. He will only turn after he has opened the door, so be ready to run
again. This is incredibly helpful for knife runs since he can be slashed quite
a bit before he turns after opening a door! Be forewarned that your character
should quick turn and run away early since the corridor with the blue door is
very narrow and the Chainsaw Majini will likely be in the way where your
character will not be able to run beside him.
- The Chainsaw Majini's chainsaw blade attack that opens a door CANNOT hit your
character much like the Executioner's gate-breaking swing in the Public
Assembly, so you can literally stand on the other side of door and blast him
the second he opens it as the chainsaw blade passes right through your
character while the door is opened.
Pick up the **GUARD'S KEY** from the Chainsaw Majini body once he falls. Some
of the other Majini might still be in the area; listen for the battle music to
tell if they are or not.
----------------------------------------------------------------- KEY ITEM LIST
[ ] Guard's Key - Defeat the Chainsaw Majini and he will drop this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.---------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------.
| More commonly on difficulties such as Veteran or Professional, but |
| sometimes even randomly on normal mode, the Chainsaw Majini might get back |
| up after his "death" and begin swinging wildly while moving toward your |
| characters. He has little life left when he does this, but he is a walking |
| death machine that will easily kill off any character that get in his way |
| by sending them into dying status and finishing them off almost instantly |
| afterwards. |
| |
| If he does this, use the rifle, handgun or machine gun from long range to |
| quickly spam fire on him and kill him off again. You don't really have to |
| kill him; a character could easily pick up the key from his fallen body |
| unlock the door and both players can leave the area through the assist |
| command while he rages. |
| |
| He can be hit from the moment that he starts to rise, so a character can |
| begin to damage him right then. If this is your second playthrough then |
| placing a proximity bomb in his path will cause him to get stunned once he |
| moves over it and allow the characters to run up to him and easily finish |
| him off. |
| |
| NOTE: The Chainsaw Majini CANNOT die while rising before going into Berserk |
| mode. He will ONLY die after fully standing, so basically if you have |
| already shot him twice with a magnum while he rises, then he is already |
| dead even though he continues to rise but he will only die when he fully |
| stands. There is no reason to continually spam him with bullets and waste |
| them. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| Once the Chainsaw Majini is finished, the Majini left behind do not have |
| to be defeated. You could simply grab the key, then use it on the gate up |

In order to see the path in front of your characters in this cave area, one
character must pick up the lantern on the cave floor ahead then the other
character must lead the way and protect the lantern carrier from enemies. In
single player, it is best for the player to order the AI partner to pick up the
lantern through the partner action (assist) button.
In single player, the AI partner will automatically aim the lantern in whatever
direction your weapon is aimed, so exploring is pretty easy; the AI will also
run if your character runs. Press the assist button a second time to make an
AI partner drop the lantern. Keep in mind that the lantern can be dropped by
equipping any weapon if you're the one holding it. A character can walk and
run with the lantern and also pick up items.

tendency to form a Cephalo from their head as they die. Use a flash grenade or
shoot at the head to finish it off if this happens. Shooting a Majini in the
leg and then rushing behind it for an instant kill melee attack will keep the
Majini from forming a Cephalo.

Return to the cave area outside the current tunnel then walk toward the light
in the tunnel up ahead. The character carrying the lantern can put it down now
by switching the current weapon or by equipping the knife. The AI partner will
automatically put down the lantern. You can either have Sheva rotate the
handle to the side or have Chris rotate it in order to open the gate up ahead.
Spin the thumbstick in a circular motion to rotate the handle. It is really
best for the actual player to spin this handle, since you'll have to fight
enemies on this side in a moment. Release the handle once the partner moves up
under the gate.
> > > > > > > > > > P A R T N E R 1 G A M E P L A Y < < < < < < < < < < <
The character that stays behind should release the handle after the other
player moves under the gate. This player is going to have to deal with three
Majini as they attack from the dark cave behind the player. Fight them off to
buy time for the partner to lift the gate via the handle at the other end. The
moment the gate is lifted, haul ass under the gate since your partner will be
patiently spinning the thumbstick online while you fight the Majini.

The character that moves under the gate will need to run toward the handle in
the cave up ahead then quickly spin the handle to open the gate for the other
player. Use the "Come on" command to signal that the gate is lifted since the
partner will be busy with three Majini behind the gate. Release the handle
when the player moves up under the gate and the Majini will remain trapped on
the other side.

.------------------------------------ TIP 1 ----------------------------------.
| While the gate is raised for Partner 1, tapping the assist button with |
| Partner 1 will issue the "Go" command for that character. Tapping the |
| assist command for Partner 2 once that character raises the gate from the |
| other side will issue the "Come On" command. |
|------------------------------------ TIP 2 ----------------------------------|
| Both characters can stand on the opposite side of the gate and knife slash |
| any Majini trapped behind it then collect the dropped items by picking them |
| up through the gate (if they are nearby). |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Several Majini will appear during a cutscene once the characters step into the
tunnel. Two of the Majini on the floors above carry dynamite, which can make
this part frustrating if you don't react quickly and take them out fast. The
dynamite will kill off the Majini on the first floor, but they'll always toss
it near your location and there are very few safe places to go to take cover
from the dynamite other than a few tunnels.
One character should rush back into the tunnel very quickly and take out a
sniper rifle and quickly aim toward the left tunnel on the third floor above
then shoot the Majini with the dynamite. Look up on top of the middle platform
with the connecting bridge and find the second Majini with the dynamite then
shoot him with the rifle. There are Majini armed with crossbows on each of the
two side wooden platforms above the third floor, but they aren't as much of a
threat as the dynamite tossers since their crossbow bolts tend to miss if the
characters stay moving.
Once the Majini with the dynamite have been disposed of, pull out the shotgun
to deal with the Majini horde on the first floor. They will begin to fall from
the floors above and group around eventually. This is an excellent opportunity
to set up some tag team attacks from an arm stun with the other player or even
the AI partner. You can easily bounce more than one Majini to set them up for
a tag team melee.
There is a breakable --WOODEN CRATE-- on the wooden blocks to the side. Enter
the tunnel off to the left and collect the ++FLASH GRENADE++ near the rock
rubble inside. Climb the ladder to the second floor and break the two --WOODEN
BARRELS-- on the left side.
Stand on the wooden walkway on the left side of the second floor then look
toward the wheel above the middle platform. Find the shiny red piece on the
second circular metal piece to the right in the middle of the wheel then shoot
it to make the ++RUBY (SQUARE)++ fall onto the middle platform for your
character to collect.

try to toss dynamite, so blast him before he starts. Right after defeating
him, look up on the wall to the side of the alcove that he jumped from. This
wall is above the ceiling to the tunnel ahead. Aim up and shoot the ++RUBY

Move up the stairs of the nearby building to trigger a cutscene.
-- CHECKPOINT
After the cutscene, Majini will appear outside the building to the west. One
of them will be using a stationary gatling gun. Check the left locker in the
set of lockers on the south side of the room and collect the ++DRAGONUV SVD

of lockers on the south side of the room to find this inside.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
You can take cover behind the nearby window to the west. Walk toward the
window and press the action button to duck behind the metal wall below the
building. One character should take cover behind the window and equip a rifle;
take shots at the Majini behind the gatling gun during his gunfire breaks. The
other character should watch the partner's back since a few Majini will enter
the building from the first floor. I highly recommend using the S75 rifle
since the aiming is more precise at the moment. The Dragunov has an extremely
good rate of fire compared to the S75, but the character will hold the S75
steadier for near perfect headshots.
Once the first Majini manning the gatling gun is taken down, two more Majini
will try to run toward it, one right after the other, so stay put and kill them
all. There are Majini with crossbows on the side trailer and the side of the
mountain in the distance as well. Shoot them all. Don't worry as much about
the Majini that are armed with melee weapons; these Majini will run toward the
current building and try to move inside the building through the door on the
first floor.
Stay behind once the Majini have stopped their attack then zoom in on the very
ledge of the mountain ahead. Look closely and shoot the Majini with the
crossbow on the mountain and the Majini with the dynamite. The Majini with the
dynamite can be quite annoying while moving up the mountain, so go ahead and
limit their number by one right now.
There is a ++GREEN HERB++ near the railing of the stairs and some ++HANDGUN
BULLETS++ on cabinet near the top of the stairs. Be sure to check out the
--MESSAGE-- on the counter.

Move down to the first floor via the staircase then exit the building through
the door on the north side. After exiting the building, arm the S75 rifle and
survey the entire mountain area ahead; if something moves, shoot it until it
doesn't move again or until Sheva comments on your well-aimed shot!
Move to the west. Climb up on top of the trailer and pick up the ++HAND
GRENADE++. Fall back off the trailer then move around the other end of the
trailer and climb the ladder on the side of the raised path to the southwest.

trail and follow the trail to the west.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Red Herb - On the raised area with the chest, near the railing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can get up on the trailer with the gatling gun and fire off a few rounds if
you want. It doesn't hurt to get the feel of the controls of a stationary
weapon right now. There is no use for it at the moment though since it faces
the wrong way. So sad that Chris can't tear a mortar weapon off its hinges
like Jack Carver from Far Cry. I have a feeling that Mr. Redfield could if he
really tried though.
If you took my advice and shot the Majini on the mountain side then you won't
have to deal with any once you reach the ladder! If you didn't then one with a
crossbow will be above the ladder and another with dynamite will be tossing
down explosives at the characters.
Check the area and collect the ++HAND GRENADE++ from around the side of the
metal container, the ++RIFLE AMMO++ from in front of the outhouse then look
directly up and to the right of the ladder and shoot the sparkling ++DIAMOND

the mountain wall then shoot it to make it fall. I highly
advise shooting this treasure from the ledge that the

before the cutscene since the Sheva player will not really
have time to aim for it with the dynamite Majini in the
area after the cutscene.

Drop down and move up the mountain trail to the north. A cutscene will play
eventually. There is a broken ladder where a partner action command can be
used below it to toss Sheva to the ledge above. This will help her to get up
above quicker than Chris. Both players should keep in mind that the best way
to take down a Majini with dynamite is to quickly shoot it before it tosses the
dynamite or run toward it a bit as it tosses dynamite then shoot it from mid
range. The dynamite can be shot to make the Majini explode instantly, but
watch out about doing this from too close or your character will get hit by the
explosion.
> > > > > > > > > > > > S H E V A G A M E P L A Y < < < < < < < < < < < <
Sheva better damn well move quickly up that next ladder after Chris tosses her
up the broken ladder since Majini with dynamite will be tossing explosives at
her and Chris this entire time. If Sheva is hit with dynamite on the ledge
right above the broken ladder it might be enough to damage her so that she goes
into dying status and Chris will have a hard time trying to get to her, so
climb the ladder quick - the climbing animation will make Sheva invincible.
A Sheva player should ignore any Majini down the path to the right and move up
the path to her left. Sheva needs to make her way to the top and defeat any
Majini armed with dynamite that she sees.

A Chris player should immediately run up the mountain trail to the north and
take down the Majini with the dynamite at the curve. Run up the mountain trail
and shoot any Majini that Sheva leaves behind. If any Majini start to throw
dynamite from further up the trail then ignore the rest of the Majini and move
up to the trail above to take them down.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Both character NEED to focus on any Majini with dynamite that drop or run into
the immediate area. There are tons of dynamite Majini at this part, so watch
for them and shoot them when they appear. Don't ever get too close to one
while shooting it or it will damage the characters with its explosive death due
to the dynamite. This is a good place to set up tag team attacks, but don't
get too cocky there or a dynamite Majini might ruin your fun!
Step over to the left side (west) side of the metal container on the ledge
ahead then both players should use the assist button prompt to push it out of
the way. Drop down to the ledge to the north below.

POPOKARIMU
----------
HP: 24,000
Weak Points: - Reddish back end of tail
Recommended - Proximity Bomb (to stun Popokarimu)
Weapon(s): - Shotgun (to blast the back end of his tail from close range)
- Machine Gun or Handgun (to blast the back end of his tail from
long range)
- Rifle (to blast the reddish portion of his tail while he flies)
- Flash Grenade (to instantly stun him when he flies)
Front Attacks
1) Arm Swipe - Popokarimu swings its right arm forward.
2) Lunge - Popokarimu backs up a bit then stops and races forward then swings
its left arm forward. This can be dodged with a button prompt that appears.
Either the action button or run button will appear. Press both!
3) Shriek - Popokarimu folds out its wings then shrieks. This will stun
whichever character is in front of it as long as the shriek last but it will
not damage a character. This move will also put enough sound pressure on a
proximity bomb to make it explode if one is in front Popokarimu at that
time.
4) Ground Smash - Popokarimu leaps into the air then attempts to fall on a
character. It will take quite a while to recover from this attack if it
misses.
Back Attacks:
5) Tail Swipe - While a character is behind him, Popokarimu swings its
scorpion-like tail at the character.
6) Sticky Slime - Popokarimu lifts its tail behind it then fires out a sticky
greenish slime that will trap any character that it hits. A character must
struggle to break free or have a partner cut them out of the trap with a
partner assist knife attack.
Flying Attacks
7) Tail Strike - Popokarimu shrieks then quickly flies toward a character and
tries to hit the character with its tail as it dips downward while flying.
A button prompt dodge command will appear during this if your character is
in the way. Press both the action and the run button to avoid it.
Popokarimu will start the battle while he is in the air. He will descend
toward both character and land. He has some very hard armor over the majority
of his body but the back end of his tail has soft reddish skin that's just
begging for a few close range shotgun blasts!
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| While Popokarimu descends at the beginning of the battle, toss a flash |
| grenade at the ground underneath him to instantly knock him out of the air |
| and stun him. A flash grenade will instantly stun him any time that he |
| flies in the air. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> AVOIDING HIS ATTACKS
A vast majority of Popokarimu's attacks can be avoided by constantly backing up
or stepping to the side. Back up to avoid his arm swing and tail swipe then
step to the side to avoid his lunge or sticky slime attack. You'll get a
button prompt command shortly before he races forward during his lunge attack.
The button will be either the action or run button, so press both of them to
make certain that you dodge it with a roll. From the front, it will perform
its arm swing, lunge and ground pound attacks and when it has its back to your
character it will perform its tail swing and sticky slime trap.
--> WHEN POPOKARIMU FLIES
Popokarimu will sometimes flap its wings and take to the air. It will only
perform one lunging attack over and over while it is flying above so it is even
more predictable at that time. The flying lunge attack will make a button
prompt command appear shortly before it hits your character, so press both the
action and run button at the same time to avoid its attack.
--> STEPPING INTO A SHACK
By entering one of the three nearby shacks, a character can escape from
Popokarimu for a short while, but he will eventually break down your shelter
with one of his physical attacks. Only enter a building to collect the items
inside or quickly heal since he will break down the building very shortly after
you enter it. Sometimes he hangs around the doorway for a bit however.
--> COLLECTING THE AREA ITEMS
Be sure to run around the area and collect many of the items in the barrels and
the shacks. You need to grab the proximity bombs since they will come in handy.
Two of them are in the west shack, two more are in the barrels to the south of
the west shack, one more is in the right barrel behind the west shack, and the
final bomb is inside the north shack for a total of six proximity bombs in the
area.
--> STUNNING POPOKARIMU
There are three ways to stun the creature with the weapons that the character
have available to them right now:
A) Grab one of the proximity bombs in the area then lay it down in its path
with the L1 button while the bomb is equipped. Simply stand and allow
Popokarimu to step over the bomb. The explosion from the bomb will knock it
over and stun it for a few seconds. It should be noted that Popokarimu's
shriek has the power to make a proximity bomb explode if it is laid out on
the ground in front of him when he performs his shriek.
B) Both characters can surround Popokarimu and the character in the back of him
can arm a damaging weapon such as a shotgun and blast it in the back of its
tail. After Popokarimu has received enough damage it will fall over and be
stunned for a few seconds.
C) When he flies in the air, take out a flash grenade and toss it underneath
him and Popokarimu will fall to the ground then roll over on his side.
--> WHILE POPOKARIMU IS STUNNED
Once the boss has been knocked over, arm your most powerful weapon (shotgun
most likely) then run over to the side with the exposed bottom portion of the
tail. Both characters should let loose on that weak point with nonstop
gunfire. Its first stun can easily be its last with two aggressive players or
one extremely aggressive shotgun user that reloads through the inventory
between gunshot animations with an Ithaca shotgun.

--> Chapter 2-3 Ranking Table ENEMY GROUP 1
The first group of enemies consist of several Motorcycle Majini. There's
really not too much of a strategy for this group other than shoot them all. If
they ever throw a weapon toward the jeep then shoot the weapon out of the air
to avoid taking damage.
After the first group is finished, a button tapping command will appear as the
driver makes a sudden sharp turn, so be sure to tap the on-screen button to
avoid taking damage. Both players must tap the button.
--> ENEMY GROUP 2
From this point onward, both players should work together to take down separate
teams of enemies. Chris players should focus on Motorcycle Majini thanks to
his greater view of the area below and Sheva players should focus on the trucks
that appear since her weapon is more powerful.
NOTE: In a single player game, the AI partner will usually follow the
strategies listed above.
.---------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------.
| Once a truck begins to flame, don't continue to fire at it while it is |
| close to the jeep. Having it explode while next to the jeep will damage |
| the jeep. Wait until it moves away then finish it off with gunfire. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
- Wave 1
Captain Stone (Josh) will contact both Chris and Sheva over the radio as a
truck drives up from the right side of the back of the jeep. Sheva should
focus on the truck to the right while Chris turns his attention toward the
Motorcycle Majini that appear on the left side. Chris can shoot them faster
and he has a wider view of them as they appear from the side.
- Wave 2
Sheva should focus on shooting the Majini in the back of the truck then she
should shoot at the front half of the truck when it comes into view. After the
truck is at least flaming, both players should turn to the immediate left and
finish off any Motorcycle Majini that appear. They will start to appear from
the left side as they slow down and drive next to the jeep so concentrate fire
on them as the jeep begins to move by them.
Another scene will showcase yet another sharp turn where both players will have
to tap a button to sustain they're grip on the vehicle.
-- CHECKPOINT
--> ENEMY GROUP 3
- Wave 1
A truck will drive up from the left side, so Sheva should focus her aim to the
left and begin to fire at the truck. Chris should keep his eye on the right
side since some Motorcycle Majini will begin to appear as the jeep catches up
to them.
-Wave 2
Motorcycle Majini armed with cocktails will drive into view from the right
side. Both Chris and Sheva should focus on these Majini since they are the
only threat for the moment and are quite numerous. Try to shoot them all
before they toss a cocktail at the jeep.
-Wave 3
Majini will slow down then come into view on both sides of the jeep after the
second wave is finished. One player can take the left and one can take the
right for this wave, but really planning it out as such is really not needed
since they drive together in the middle of the road very shortly after
appearing.
Another sharp turn cutscene will play so be prepared to press the two buttons
that appear on the screen. The players have to press either two shoulder
buttons or two face buttons for this button prompt command.
--> ENEMY GROUP 4
- Wave 1
A truck will appear from the left and another truck will appear from the right
almost simultaneously, so each player should pick a truck to focus on. Try to
take down the trucks as quickly as possible by shooting the front portion or
possibly the driver inside of the truck (shoot off the door). Immediately
after finishing off a truck, both players should turn their attention toward
the middle road as Motorcycle Majini begin to drive into view. A few
straggling Majini may appear from the back of the road. Blast them all to end
this wave.
-- CHECKPOINT
- Wave 2
The truck will stop and then suddenly turn as the viewpoint of a roadblock with
a truck and several Majini are showcased to both players. Chris players should
focus fire on the Majini while a Sheva player shoots the red barrels
surrounding the truck in the back. There are three sets of red barrels
altogether.
-- CHECKPOINT
--> ENEMY GROUP 5
- Wave 1
The jeep will drive over a bridge. Once the bridge is passed both players
should focus their aim to the right. A truck will drive up from the right side
and try to ram the jeep off the side of the cliff to the left. Both players
should focus on taking down the Majini in the back and then focus on shooting
the front end of the truck. Once the truck is destroyed a cutscene will play
eventually.
- Wave 2
Motorcycle Majini will drive up from the right side, so both players should
focus fire to the right. The scene will eventually end during the middle of
the action as a cutscene activates.

NDESU
-----
HP: 8,000 (Small Plagas)
HP: 26,000 (Large Plagas)
Weak Points: - Head (makes him move back from the jeep to showcase plaga)
- Multiple Small Plaga (make him showcase large plagas)
- Large Plagas (ultimate weak point)
NOTE: In this battle, especially on higher difficulties, a Chris player should
focus aim on the Majini armed with a cocktails that appear in the doorway to
the left and the two Majini armed with crossbows that appear to the right (one
on the high platform and one below). There is a single red barrel that is near
both crossbow Majini that can be shot to take them out instantly. Save this
for when Ndesu is right up against the jeep or toward the end of the battle.
Knowing Ndesu's attacks and learning how to avoid them is the absolute most
important part of this battle.
Close attacks:
1) Foot Stomp - Ndesu raises his right foot into the air and tries to stomp the
truck.
Avoidance: Shoot his head to cancel the attack.
2) Right Hook - Ndesu raises his right arm to the side and tries to punch both
characters.
Avoidance: Press the on-screen button inputs.
3) Overhead Punch - Ndesu leans back and raises both arms then tries to smash
the jeep This takes some extreme damage.
Avoidance: Aim upward then fire at his head right as he prepares to smash
the vehicle. A few precise shots to his head will stagger him and cancel
the attack. It's best to aim up and to the right of his head, this way, the
shots will hit his head right before he smashes the vehicle.
Distant Attacks:
4) Rock Toss - A cutscene will showcase Ndesu tearing up some of the ground as
he lifts a big boulder. He will lift it above his head then toss it toward
the characters. The boulder will roll toward the jeep.
Avoidance: Fire at the boulder while he holds it over his head then follow
it with fire as it rolls along the ground to break it just before it reaches
the jeep. The characters can also shoot a nearby red barrel to make him
drop the boulder, but I recommend saving the boulder for when he grabs a
wooden pole.
5) Ground Pound - Ndesu lifts both arms into the air and pounds the ground,
creating a slight earthquake.
Avoidance: Press the on-screen button inputs.
6) Ram - Ndesu leans his top half downward and charges a ram then he runs
toward the jeep head first.
Avoidance: Shoot him directly in his head to cancel this ram.
7) Pole Grab - Ndesu grabs a nearby wooden telephone pole from out of the
ground then walks toward the jeep with it. This is not an attack but it
leads into other close range attacks and the pole grab can be canceled.
Avoidance: If a red barrel is near Ndesu, fire at it and he will drop the
pole instantly when the blast hits him. The only time a character cannot
cancel this attack is when Ndesu pulls up a pole from the foreground of the
left side of the screen. Shooting the left barrel at that time will only
waste a barrel.
Pole Attacks:
8) Pole Swing - Ndesu holds the pole to his right side then swings it toward
the characters.
Avoidance: Press the on-screen button inputs.
9) Pole Smash - Ndesu lift both arms into the air while holding the pole then
tries to smash the jeep with the pole.
Avoidance: Aim upward as he prepares to smash the vehicle then fire at his
head to cancel the attack; just like with the overhead punch, precision fire
toward his head will cancel the attack. It's best to aim up and slightly to
the right of his head, this way, the shots will hit his head right before he
smashes the vehicle.
--> DRIVE HIM AWAY FROM THE JEEP
Ndesu will move toward the jeep at the beginning of the battle and remain there
until he is driven away. The only way to make him back off is for both players
to continuously fire directly at his head. Both players need to stop firing
and focus on dodging his attacks whenever he readies one. Blast him enough in
the head and he will back off.
--> NDESU'S PLAGA
Ndesu will showcase his weak points as two plaga move out of his skin - one on
the left side of his chest and one on his right arm. Fire at them to damage
them and ultimately destroy them. Destroy the arm plagas first since it is
further away from his head. This will help when he moves close since you will
have to quickly aim to the right (his left) to blast his foot or quickly aim at
his head to cancel the foot stomp attack; the players will only have to
minimally adjust aiming with only the chest plagas left.
DO NOT fire at the red barrels when he backs off. The red barrels should only
be blasted to make him drop a weapon or to damage his plagas weak points when
he showcases them. It's always best to use them to make him drop his weapons
for the most part.
While he is at a distance, keep aiming and firing at his plaga. A Chris player
should aim toward the left and shoot the Majini armed with cocktails in the
doorway and then aim to the right and shoot the two Majini with crossbows (top
platform and ground). The red barrel near them can be shot to take them both
down, but you want to save this for later in the battle really.
--> NDESU STEPS IN AGAIN
Ndesu will eventually move back toward the jeep. The characters will need to
switch aiming between his head and plaga at this point. Blasts to his head
will make him back off quicker while blasting his plaga will eventually make
him showcase his ultimate weak point and back off in the process.
--> THE MAJOR WEAK POINT
Once the two plaga are destroyed, Ndesu's ultimate weak point will be showcased
as he crouches down and a big plagas moves out of his back. Fire at the weak
point to damage it as much as you can before it goes back into his back.
--> FOUR PLAGA
Once Ndesu is knocked back from the jeep again after his big weak point has
been showcased once, four plaga will move out of his body. Destroy all four of
these plaga to make him showcase his big plagas once again. Fire at the big
plagas weak point and he will fall eventually. On Professional, the players
will sometimes have to repeat shooting his four plaga once again.
A cutscene will play afterward and the chapter will end once Ndesu is defeated!

Return to the boat but don't get on just yet. Take out a sniper rifle and look
toward the north and you'll just barely be able to see a --BSAA EMBLEM
(12/30)-- on the center of the pole out in the water. You have to have a
sniper rifle to see this one and hit it from this distance. You'll only see a
slight glimmer. Read the description below for more details.

(------------) LOCATION: Marshlands - Chapter 3-1
\ EMBLEM / DETAILS: In the area where the characters obtain the Beast Slate
\________/ at the beginning of the Marshlands, arm a sniper rifle while
standing behind the north railing of the nearby wooden dock
where the boat is then look to the north. Find the pole out in
the water up ahead with two overhead telephone wires connected
to it and look in the center of the pole to see a slight
glimmer. The slight glimmer is the BSAA emblem. A player can
only shoot it from this distance in single player mode. In a
co-op game, one character can drive the boat out to the pole
while the other character shoots the emblem from up close.
If you want to get it easily, press "Start" on a second player
controller and then have one character drive the other out to
the pole while on board the boat. The character on the front
can easily shoot it from the front of the boat with a handgun
while the boat is facing the north end of the pole. Just quit
the game afterwards if you don't want to continue playing two-
player and the medal will save on the main save file for
Resident Evil 5.
Another way to clearly see this is to bring a PSG-1 rifle with
your character with a level 2 upgraded scope. Simply aim then
look to the north pole with the cables attached to it while on
the dock and it will appear a bit bigger in the scope. It's
still small though and will require some pinpoint aiming even
with an upgraded scope. The PSG-1 rifle is not obtained or
unlocked in the Buy menu until Chapter 5-3 however.

This portion of the chapter is fully open to exploration, so you can choose to
go anywhere. The ultimate objective is to find all the plates, like the one
that the characters just collected. There are a total of four altogether.
One of the first places that the characters should go is toward the blue
circular marker in the west portion of the map. Dock there then leave the boat
and collect the ++SLATE MAP++ from the wooden deck. This will add the
locations of the other three plates to your GPS (mini) map as red X's displayed
on the map. The door to the side with the circular carving requires all four
plates in order to open it. Placing a plate in the circular indention will
always give the characters a checkpoint. Get back on the boat.

Where you go from here is completely up to you. I will start off with some
optional areas first of all.
--> THE CHICKEN ISLAND
Drive out to the island in the middle of the lake and get off the boat. The
chickens in this area will randomly lay eggs and you can easily get a Brown,
White and Gold Egg from here in order to almost get the Egg Hunt
trophy/achievement. You'll still need to get the rotten egg from a random
enemy drop however.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT ALERT _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Trophy/Achievement: Egg Hunt
Description: Find all 4 types of eggs.
Details: A player can easily obtain the White, Brown and Gold egg from the
chicken island in the middle of the lake. Simply wait around until the
chickens lay eggs. While playing single player, usually the AI character will
be the first to notice an egg that a chicken lays, so if your AI partner
suddenly starts to move in a certain direction, then there is most likely an
egg there.
Use the "Restart" feature in the pause menu if the chickens refuse to lay a
certain egg. Keep trying to get all three egg types. This is your absolute
best chance at collecting a gold egg.

crocodiles? Well, I just did, didn't I? Damn.
The crocodiles should be avoided for the most part. Don't try to fight them
for now. They don't leave behind any type of item, they take quite a few shots
and they will instantly kill a player once they are in close range most of the
time. You'll first notice one by the music that will play then its eyes and
nose will slowly rise out of the water. This is your cue to haul ass in a side
direction or back way then run to its side. It will usually miss if it tries
to attack when a character runs within close range of it, but don't always
depend on it missing. It's possible to take a crocodile down with a weapon
that has a good rate of fire, but again, there is no reason to. The sidestep
feature while turning the camera is ever so useful at this part for Control
type C or D users.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Equip a grenade or some type of item other than a gun while moving through |
| the water in order to move faster while running. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
No matter which side of the marsh the characters move around, crocodiles will
attack. It's best to take the left side however, so you can pick up the
++BEETLE (BROWN)++ that is attached to the north side of the tree on that side.
Crocodiles seem to appear less on the left side as well.

Once you reach the far east end, you'll run across a boat out in the water that
points toward an open fenced section below some buildings. Don't charge into
the fenced area since a crocodile will appear in the water right at the
entrance. A character can lure the crocodile out of the open fenced area by
backing up and then quickly running by him as he moves out of the fenced area
or a character could wait for him to swim forward then toss a hand grenade at
the crocodile to most likely instantly kill him. You're really going to have to
watch it while fighting him however since other crocodiles might sneaking up
from behind. I HIGHLY advise killing him with a hand grenade since you're
going to have move by him again upon leaving the area above.
There is a ++RUBY (PEAR)++lying on the right side of the fenced area where you
can first enter. Be careful about grabbing it however since Lake Placid's
wrath will be creeping up near your character somewhere nearby most likely.

Rush to the ladder in the back left corner and climb it quickly.
Step around the side of the building up ahead. Go ahead and vault through
window for a quicker entrance. A sudden yell will give way to a new enemy!
NEW ENEMY: WETLAND MAJINI
These Majini are basically just like normal Town Majini accept they have a new
weapon assortment and are more aggressive. They usually carry spears and some
of them will eventually carry shields. Fight them like normal Majini but
beware of they're range and jump attacks. Melee attack prompts will still
appear for your characters when the Wetland Majini are hit in the same parts of
the body as normal Town Majini (head, arm, leg) and they can also be tag
teamed. Once these Majini are grounded, they have a high tendency to get right
back up while they are still in good health. Only a low health Wetland Majini
will usually stay grounded and allow the characters to perform a ground melee
on it.
Pick up the ++RED HERB++ and ++EGG (WHITE)++ from off the nearby wooden shelf
and break the nearby --VASE-- after the battle.

Now, the characters need to return to the boat. Sadly there is no checkpoint,
so the characters better be damn careful on their way back to the boat. If a
character dies by a crocodile bite then both players will have to do all of
this all over again from the start of the boat. If the characters didn't kill
off the crocodile below the building area, be sure that the characters allow
that crocodile to move far enough away from the open fence so each player can
move by him without him snapping at the characters. The first crocodile is
really the most dangerous part of backtracking if he wasn't finished off
earlier. The characters will receive a checkpoint upon stepping near the boat.
-- CHECKPOINT
Just think, you can stand at the bridge and taunt all the water creatures once
you're home free, much like that swimmer did to the oil streak blob in "The
Raft" episode of Creepshow 2. "I beat you. I BEAT YOU- Gah!" That won't
happen to our Redfield protagonist though since he'll just Haymaker the blob
back into the water and simply taunt it again.
--> OBTAINING THE SHAMAN SLATE
Drive out the northeast section and get off the boat. This area has a lot of
hidden collectibles and items to grab.
Move up the stairs then walk toward the display of shield and spears up ahead.
Use the knife to break the two --VASES-- and the goat skull up above the
display. An ++EMERALD (PEAR)++ will fall on the pedestal once the goat skull
is broken. Break the small --POT-- on the wooden shelf to the right. Check
out the --HAND TO HAND COMBAT-- memo for details on button prompt melee

----------------------------------------------------------------- KEY ITEM LIST
[ ] Shaman Slate - Boost Sheva up to the right platform and she will retrieve
this from the chest above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole village heard Sheva the moment she laid her pretty little fingers on
that slate, so prepare to do battle with several Wetland Majini. This is an
excellent time for tag team melees even in single player. Try to shoot one of
them in the arm then perform a back melee attack to bounce it toward your AI
partner and your partner might get tricked into helping your main character.
Even more so on co-op mode, this area can make for some splendid tag team
action with a friend. The area reminds me of the tag team paradise that
several friends and I made of Shanty Town in the RE5 demo!
Majini with spears will appear at first. This is your first time dealing with
them most likely, so be sure to watch for their midrange spear attacks. They
also have a jumping stab attack that can be escaped through a button prompt
dodge. Majini with shields will be among the final wave of enemies. These
need to be shot with either a shotgun (to break their shields), an H&K MP5
machine gun (to go through their shields), or you can simply aim at their legs
with a handgun or machine gun and fire at them then perform a melee attack to
them.
Keep in mind that a front melee attack will break their shields, but as always,
a back melee from an leg stun is an instant kill. The frontal melee from a leg
stun will hit multiple enemies with a slight bit of invincibility during the
animation while the back melee attack will give your character a prolonged
invincibility during the animation. Your choice! A hand grenade is highly
effective at this part since the Majini like to bunch up in a crowd.
NEW ENEMY: Duvalia
One of the Majini will evolve into a new parasitic hard shell enemy know as a
Duvalia. This enemy has a grab attack from close range that will instantly
cause a character to go into dying status if it hits and it has a ram attack
that will knock a character down from close range. This creature's hard shell
is impenetrable with any weapon accept for a weapon that fires an explosive
blast. With a weapon such as the shotgun, aim at its legs then fire at them. A
character must get it down on its knees in order to damage it through gunfire.
Don't ever depend on a gunshot to stun a Duvalia before it gets to your
character, since a single gunshot will not always do the job and it might
simply leave the character open; you don't want to get caught in the middle of
gunshot animation while the creature is right up on the character. Once it
falls, it will open its hard shell mouth to reveal its circular weak point
inside of its mouth. Step toward its mouth and aim directly at the center weak
point then blast it with a shotgun to kill it off quickly. If you have a flash
grenade, since this is a parasitic enemy, the flash grenade will instantly kill
it when tossed its way!
-- CHECKPOINT
Return to the boat and set out for the next slate after the battle is done.

.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| It is best to get this slate last since taking it will cause Majini to |

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
The warrior slate is down a river path on the southwest portion of the map.
Drive along the river until the characters pass by a watchtower on the right
side. Move past the watchtower then turn around in the middle of the river and
face the east while the watchtower is in view. There is a ++MACHINE GUN AMMO
(+30)++ pickup near the far left set of spiked poles that extend out of the
water and a ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ pickup near the far right set of spiked
poles that extend out of the water. Drive toward them with the boat and allow
your partner to collect them.
Turn around and look toward the overhead bridge. On the center of the right
fence there is some ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++. If the characters drive past the
overhead bridge up ahead then turn around while on the opposite side and face
the east, you'll be able to see some ++RIFLE AMMO (+5)++ treasure along one of
the right spiked poles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+5) - Along the river path in the southwest, drive past the
watchtower then turn around. This will be lying on top of one of the
spiked poles along the right set of spiked poles to the east.

the watchtower then turn around. This will be lying on top of one of
the spiked poles along the left set of spiked poles to the east.

mentioned above, look on the right side of the fence and this will be on
the middle portion.
[ ] Rifle Ammo (+5) - Drive past the overhead bridge in the same area as the
pickups listed above then turn and face east and look to the right to see
this along one of the right spiked poles that stick out of the water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn back around and drive to the west. The characters will come to a building
area surrounded by wooden fencing. If the characters drive around the left
side of the area that they will face and drive toward the wooden fence on that
side, the character on the front can obtain a ++GREEN HERB++ that is lying in
the water to the left of the fence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST

Move all the way around the north side and make a left. Follow the path ahead

away the shields as well.

Well that was easy huh? Give your AI partner a sniper rifle before both
characters get back on the boat and set her to attack mode (Go), so she will
equip it. I have an odd feeling here. It's too quiet.
-- CHECKPOINT
Drive around the side of the building area then attempt to exit the area.
Spikes will surface next to the watchtower in the east then Wetland Majini will
appear on the high walkways above and toss explosive bombs at the characters.
If the AI partner is armed with a rifle, that character will take them down
very quickly with the AI's precise aiming. Don't drive too fast, so as not to
mess up your partner's aiming, but don't stand still either. Be careful while
driving past the overhead bridge since the wooden walls underneath it can hide
explosives that the Majini have tossed into the water.
There are four Majini on the walkway with the bridge and a single Majini on the
watchtower near the spikes. The player that chooses to stand on the front of
the boat must shoot all five Majini in order for the spikes to lower and allow
passage to the river path ahead.
Race down the river ahead. Use turbo to move faster. You see those Majini out
in the river up ahead that are armed with explosive arrows? Pretend that your
boat is the bowling ball and they are merely pins on your bowling lane. Let's
see how many Chris and Sheva can knock down with the boat on the way out of
this river path.
.---------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------.
| Majini armed with explosives will be out on the high platforms in the marsh |

(------------) LOCATION: Village - Chapter 3-1
\ EMBLEM / DETAILS: Right at the beginning of this area, drop off the right
\________/ side of the platform then make a quick turn while in the water
and move to the left so that your character moves to the section
of the wooden platform that isn't boarded up and you will see
this emblem as it stands on the ground below the wooden platform
that your character dropped from.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Stand right near the BSAA emblem and equip a rifle then look toward the |
| east. Find the Wetland Majini with explosive arrows on the high tower in |
| the back of the area and shoot him early. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Follow the ditch to the west. Once both characters pass the curve portion of
the river, a Majini with a bow will shoot explosive arrows down at them from a
watchtower to the north if he hasn't already been defeated beforehand. Equip a
sniper rifle and shoot him or just use a handgun or machine gun from a
distance.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| The crows in this area can be shot for extra gold. Two of them will be |
| perched on a branch at the start of the curve then two more of them will be |
| perched on the branch near the middle of the river. Don't worry too much |
| about the crows if they fly into the air above since they'll most likely |
| land along the side of the area once shot down rather than in the water. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Move up the stairs at the opposite end of the ditch. Both characters will
enter a village.
-- CHECKPOINT
From the top of the entrance of the village, your characters will have a choice
of two separate paths.
--> RIGHT PATH
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| There are crows feasting on a dead BSAA soldier body past the holes in the |
| ground, so blast them for some extra gold. They fly off pretty quickly |
| when your characters step down the path, so shoot them from a distance. Use |
| a rifle and aim at the one in front on the right then try to work the other |
| behind it in the same shot to keep the others from flying off. Keep in mind |
| that a character can also toss a flash grenade toward them to kill all of |
| them at one time. Sometimes there are three crows and sometimes there are |
| only two. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Notice the ++S&W M29 (MAG)++ next to the dead BSAA soldier body in the open
building below the right hill. If the characters move toward this gun right
now, a cutscene will play where they get trapped as spikes move up out of the
holes in the ground. Majini will appear on the overhead walkway of the
building and begin to fire down explosive arrows at the characters. There are
only four of them, so it isn't that bad of a fight. I highly recommend
activating this trap, so you can get the magnum gun early because your
characters will need it in a bit.

H I D D E N W E A P O N
Weapon: S&W M29 (MAG)
Location: Village - Chapter 3-1
Details: This is lying beside a dead BSAA soldier body below a high walkway
down the right path after first entering the village. Stepping toward it
without previously fighting the Giant Majini in the village will result in a
trap being set where both characters will have to fight off four Majini with
explosive arrows on the walkway above.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
.-------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ---------------------------------.
| If one character rushes ahead of the other one and springs the trap then |
| other character will be free to move while the character that rushed ahead |
| is trapped in the area below thee building. The partner that is not |
| trapped can take that chance to climb the ladder along the side of the |
| building and fight off the Majini with explosive arrows from the second |
| floor. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| When attempting to retrieve the S&W M29 magnum from the dead BSAA soldier's |
| body, climb up the ladder on the left side of the building then turn right |
| and drop from the either side of the area without railing that overlooks |
| the area with the magnum so that the characters land on the holes where the |
| spikes move out of. Grab the magnum afterward and the trap will not |
| spring nor will the Majini with explosive arrows appear on the walkway. |
| |
| The trick here is that the trap will not spring unless a character enter |
| the area below the building walkway by stepping over the holes where the |
| spikes trap the character. If the characters do not step over the holes to |
| enter the area below the walkway then the trap will not spring. |
| |
| In single player mode, the AI partner will not follow your character up the |
| ladder, that the character will circle around the building and take the |
| middle set of stairs up to your character. Issue the "Come on" command and |
| wait for the partner before dropping or the partner will spring the trap by |
| stepping over the holes to follow your character. Neither character can |
| move over the holes to ENTER the area without setting the trap but the |
| characters can move over the holes to LEAVE the area without the setting |
| the trap. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> LEFT PATH
Majini are going to begin attacking once the characters step deeper into the
village, but I'm going to go ahead and label the immediate area collectibles

NEW ENEMY: Giant Majini
As I said, Majini will begin to attack once both characters step further into
the village area. They'll face a new enemy, well, actually duplicates of the
new enemy. The big Majini with the large mask are known as Giant Majini.
Their masks are indestructible making their face and anything their mask covers
impervious to harm, so the characters will have to hit them somewhere on their
mid body or legs in order to damage them.
If a character has the S&W M29 magnum then that character has just enough shots
to finish off both of them if the characters add in some melee attacks; they
can be double teamed (two melee attacks per stun). Each shot that hits their
skin will cause them to lean over, so rush in for a melee attack prompt at that
time. The second character that hits the Giant Majini will perform their
special tag team melee, so if Chris hits second then he'll perform his
Haymaker.
With an AI partner run up to the stunned Giant Majini and hit it with a melee
attack then quickly issue the "Go" command to make your partner run ahead of
your main character and follow up with that character's tag team melee. A
player can also set the AI partner to cover mode ("Come on") then run by the
Giant Majini after hitting it with a melee to fool the AI partner into hitting
it. It's harder to do this when they block a shotgun blast since they will
recover faster from the melee.
They can be fought in much the same way with the shotgun if that is your only
option. It will take quite a few more shots depending on how upgraded the
shotgun is.
Their attacks are quite deadly and have some good range. Be sure to step to a
side or run behind them whenever they suddenly raise their head and make sounds
since they will jump forward and perform a few horizontal swings to the area in
front of them. They also have an overhead swing with their weapon.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Both characters can run inside the west building during the Majini fight, |
| quickly climb the ladder inside then knock it down with the button prompt |
| command while standing next to it. When the Majini enter the first floor, |
| the characters can approach the torches on the second floor for a "Kick" |
| command. Kick the torches down to the first floor to make them burst into |
| flames and burn the Majini below. The torches can also be shot down. They |
| burn a group of enemies much like incendiary grenades. |

Step through the opening in between the walls beside the left building. There

shortly after passing over them, so be quick as your character grabs it. With
an AI partner, the partner has a tendency to get hit by the trap while
following behind your lead character, so it is really best to let your AI
partner stand near it and grab it so they will quickly move away afterwards.
You can also exploit the invincibility frame animation of picking up an item to
get the gold also. Simply stand above the gold then listen for the trap to
activate then quickly grab the item and spikes will go right through your

One character needs to stay behind and rotate the handle so that the other
character can get across the bridge to unlock the door to the side. The player
that uses the handle will have to rotate the left thumbstick the way it is
presented on the screen. In single player, I recommend allowing the AI partner
to rotate the handle by issuing the "Command Partner" command while near the
handle.
The character that elects to run across the bridge should move back down the
small path then approach the bridge in the west. The player that moves across
the bridge should remember that the partner has to stand and hold the handle in
place, so move across the bridge quickly then open the set of double doors on
the other side.
.----------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------.
| If you issue a command to your AI partner while that character is holding |
| the handle and your character is on the bridge then the AI character will |
| let go of the handle and let your character fall to the spikes below. It's |

A sniper rifle can be used at this part to take down a few of the Wetland
Majini around the wooden platforms to the east. They will be alerted to the
character's location in a bit anyway, so it doesn't really matter when the
characters start shooting.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Take out the sniper rifle right now and immediately find the Majini with |
| the explosive arrows in the lookout tower to the northeast and shoot him. |
| Look down on the middle platform and watch for the second and third Majini |

Several Majini will soon leap over to your side of the walkway and attack. You
could easily place proximity bombs right on the walkway portion where they leap
and taunt them from a distance if you'd like; even though that is a slight
waste I do that from time to time.
In all seriousness, you can shoot the Majini as they jump or try to leap across
the gap and allow them fall into the water below for a quick kill. The
characters can also shoot them when they are near the water and sometimes they
will instantly fall into the water. The only bad part about having them fall
in the water is that the characters will not be able to collect random item
drops from them.
.---------------------------------- EXTRA ------------------------------------.
| Any Majini (dead or alive) that get knocked off the side of the walkway |
| and land in the water below will get eaten by crocodiles. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
It's possible to set up some tag team melees if you want. Try not to let too
many of them crowd up around your characters here. Take out the shotgun if
they ever start to bunch up and knock them down with shotgun blasts.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| If you move down to the northwest area with barrels before the bridge is |
| raised, a few Majini will race out of the tunnel past the bridge and |
| attack. If the characters wait until the bridge is raised then they won't |
| appear. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Follow the current side of the wooden walkway to the east then break the two
--VASES-- near the end. Majini will race across the bridge to the south. Run
back and shoot them as they try to jump across the gap for some easy kills.

Once the characters hop across the gap and move toward the bridge on the other
side, a Majini will pull the lever to the south and raise the bridge to the
east. Immediately take out a sniper rifle right now and shoot the Majini with
the explosive arrows along the south walkway to get rid of one annoyance.
The characters can still knock the Majini off the platforms for some quick
kills and the characters can also stand above the ladder and shoot or knife
them as they climb. Drop down to the wooden platform in the center of the area
after the battle.
Investigate the crank along the middle platform. Your lead character will
issue out a command for the partner to rotate the crank on single player while
your main character is on the raft in the east or one player can rotate it
while the other player stands on the raft. Move up the ladder on the south
side then hop across the gap on the wooden platforms. The door off to the
right is locked on the other side.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- CHECKPOINT
Move over to the raft in the east and hop on top of it. The other character
will begin to rotate the crank to drag the raft across the water. The player
that elects to move across the water on the raft will have to avoid crocodiles
as they jump up out of the water and attack. The button prompt for dodging
them is both shoulder buttons on normal mode (R1 + L1/RT + LT). Be quick since
you only have a few seconds to input the command once one of them appears!
There altogether four button prompt sequences on single player.
.--------------------------------- WARNING -----------------------------------.
| On Veteran mode the command for dodging the crocodiles' bites will randomly |
| switch between R1 + L1/RT + LT and [] + X/X + A. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
When your character steps off on the other side, step toward the button with
the tiger skin over it to get a "Kick" command. Kick the button to lower the
bridge in the east. Unbar the door further to the side then hop back across
the west gap and meet up with your partner then fall down the side of the
ladder ahead.
-- CHECKPOINT
Move across the bridge and into the tunnel ahead. When your character climbs
up to the first raised area, equip the knife then look directly up and destroy
the torch above. A ++RUBY (PEAR)++ will fall out of the torch. Move further
along the tunnel then climb up to the next raised area. Once again, equip the
knife and break the overhead torch to make a ++SAPPHIRE (SQUARE)++ fall.

Move to the end of the tunnel and the characters will come upon an area with
tents and tall grass. A slight cutscene will trigger shortly. Walk into the
tall grass on the left side and collect the ++60 GOLD++ hidden in the middle.
There is ++90 GOLD++ on the south end of the right patch of tall grass. Watch
for the snake that will try to jump out and bite your characters at the north
end of that patch of grass. A character can easily collect the gold without
having to worry about the snake. Stand near the entrance to the first tent up
ahead then aim in the north portion of the grass and you should be able to
shoot the hidden snake. The snake might drop an egg.
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.

Three Majini will attack from the north as the flames are turned off. There is
one Majini on the platform to the northwest armed with a crossbow also. Take
out the rifle and aim then kill him off before dropping from the top of the
middle platform. One of the three Majini that attack below will stand back and
toss dynamite, so kill the dynamite Majini off first and be ready to move if he
tosses a stick near your characters.
Break the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- up the north set of stairs near the far
railing. Climb up the ladder to the west. Pull the switch at the top of the
high area to make a zipline move toward the platform. Each character can ride
the zipline over to the area with the valve handle to the south.

Right when the first character lands on the south platform, the viewpoint will
showcase a Chainsaw Majini as it drops down the west platform. It's headed for
the south platform with the red valve handle that the first character lands on.
The character can either fight him on the platform with the valve handle or
fall down the east side and fight him in the bottom area. Either way, break
the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- near the railing while deciding.
--------------------------------------------------------- BREAKABLE OBJECT LIST
[ ] Wooden Barrel (right) - On the south platform with the red valve handle.
--> Definite Item: Proximity Bomb
[ ] Wooden Barrel (left) - On the south platform with the red valve handle.
--> Random Item
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Chainsaw Majini really isn't much of threat by himself. You just need to
have a good weapon that will stun him. Any weapon will work in stunning him
and if you broke the barrels to the side then you have a proximity bomb now
that can be laid down in his path to stun him. If you have some incendiary
grenade then toss one at him for an instant stun.
Otherwise, aim for his head with a weapon and shoot him until he is stunned.
Stand above the stunned Chainsaw Majini and pump shotgun blast directly into
his head then quickly perform a melee attack as he begins to recover. If the
AI partner is set to attack mode ("Go" command) then that character seems to
aim for his head to stun him quite a bit, or at least, help out more in trying
to stun him.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| One good way to save ammo and still keep the pressure on the Chainsaw |
| Majini is to stun him with headshots then quickly run up to him and hit him |
| with the stun rod or knife slash him until he is about to recover then |
| perform a quick melee attack. Rinse and repeat to defeat him without having |
| to worry much about ammo. It's possible to get in around 7 knife slashes |
| before he can fully recover. Cancel the last stun rod attack or slash into |
| the melee attack. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.---------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------.
| While playing on Veteran difficulty, or this might have a small chance of |
| happening on Normal difficulty, the Chainsaw Majinis that attack near the |
| valve handles on both sides of the area may revive and go into their |
| berserk mode, so bring along a proximity bomb to lay in their path or a |
| magnum or high-powered shotgun to finish them off from a distance if they |
| do this. Listen for the battle music to continue to play after they drop |
| their treasure as a warning sign that they are about to get up after being |
| knocked down once. |
| |
| They can be damaged the moment that they start to rise. A character can |
| simply stand over one and spam him with gunfire to defeat him right as he |
| enters Berserk mode. Berserker said "stay down", damn you! |
| |
| NOTE: The Chainsaw Majini CANNOT die while rising before going into Berserk |
| mode. He will ONLY die after fully standing, so basically if you have |
| already shot him twice with a magnum while he rises, then he is already |
| dead even though he continues to rise but he will only die when he fully |
| stands. There is no reason to continually spam him with bullets and waste |
| them. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Whichever way is chosen, simply go for head stuns and punish him until he is
about to recover then perform a melee attack. Remember that the second
character can follow up with a melee attack for extra damage. While playing
single player, run by the Chainsaw Majini while Sheva is in cover mode or
immediately issued a "Go" command right after hitting him with a melee attack.
Pick up the ++VENOM FANG++ treasure that he drops after defeating him.

Turn the valve handle on the south platform to turn off the flame spewing out
of the right pipe on the east staircase. Fall back down the platform and
return to the middle platform. Move up the south staircase connected to the
middle platform. Break the --WOODEN BARREL-- near the railing at the top.
Pull the lever at the top of the south platform to bring the zipline from the

Ride the zipline across to the north platform with the valve handle. Break the

Once the door to the north is unbarred another Chainsaw Majini will attack
after he drops during the cutscene. Be sure to move down the stairs and fight
him below since the current platform is really too small to fight him on and
there is no reason to return here after the valve handle has been rotated. He
will drop a ++VENOM FANG++ once defeated.
.----------------------------------- TIP 1 -----------------------------------.
| The cutscene where the second Chainsaw Majini drops can be skipped and this |

| If the north valve handle is rotated last, when the Chainsaw Majini appears |

During this area, both players must cover Josh while he performs various tasks.
--> COVER JOSH WHILE HE DISABLES THE ELEVATOR LOCK
Majini will break through the window on the south side of the room and climb
over the fence on the southeast side. Break the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- near
the southeast fence, the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- on the south side of the
elevator shaft, the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- on the southwest side of the room

The Majini that attack in the first wave are fairly weak. They bunch up in the
area quite a bit though. Make sure to keep them away from Josh as he continues
to disable the elevator lock.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| During this battle you might notice two barrels behind the west fence. |
: Don't shoot them from right here. Wait until just a bit later and both |
| characters will be able to get on that side. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.--------------------------- INTERACTING WITH JOSH ---------------------------.
| Throughout this entire section Josh can interact with the Majini that are |
| knocked toward him and the character's current status if he is not busy |
| with the controls. If Majini get near him then he will step away from the |
| controls and fight them off and that is when he will interact depending on |
| the actions and status of your characters. Below are some ways to get him |
| to interact with the character while he is NOT busy at a control panel: |
| |
| 1) If your character knocks a Majini toward Josh with an arm stun melee |
| (Hook, Kick, etc.) then Josh will bounce the staggering Majini back toward |
| the character allowing your character to perform a tag team melee. |
| |
| 2) If a character approaches Josh while in dying status, Josh will actually |
| resuscitate that fallen character. Tap the assist button to make sure he |
| resuscitates your character. |
| |
| 3) Your character can actually respond to his attacks, if he bounces a |
| Majini back from an arm stun melee or if he performs a critical headshot |
| with his handgun at any point during this chapter segment, press the assist |
| button and your character will respond to his actions. |
| |
| 4) If a Majini grabs Josh it can be knocked off with a partner assist |
| melee. Josh might follow up the melee with a melee of his own if the |
| Majini survives your character's partner assist melee. |
| |
| 5) Josh can be healed with any healing item while standing next to him and |
| using a healing item. |
| |
| 6) If the assist button is tapped while your character is grabbed by a |
| Majini when near Josh then he may turn and shoot the Majini off your |
| character. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Eventually Josh will mention that the Majini seem to have let up but don't let
your guard down. This man knows the way that Resident Evil games work ever
since Resident Evil 4, because shortly after he mentions that, Majini will bust
through the north window and begin to enter from the north side. Josh, you
freaking jinx! The Majini will still climb over the fence on the west side of
the room as well.
Two Big Man Majini will attack along with the final wave of Majini and each of
them will drop a ++JEWEL BANGLE++ once defeated. Use the usual shotgun and
melee to deal with them or fire at them with handgun several times to set up
for a melee attack. Double team them with the two characters with a tag team
melee if possible.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| Stand near the north window and bust it open. When the Majini begin to |
| arrive on the other side of that window, toss a hand grenade into the room |
| to finish all of them off instantly. |

Eventually Josh will get the elevator working then he will get inside and tell

elevator and finish off the remaining Majini or join up with Josh inside. Both
players should press the assist button inside the elevator to take it to the
next floor.

--> FOLLOW JOSH
Follow the railing directly ahead as it curves around the second floor of the
room. Majini will be along the upper walkway and other side of the second
floor. Josh will help out a lot more this time. He will use his handgun to
shoot the Majini in his way and maybe even melee attack them.
Follow Josh up the ladder then break the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- off to the
right on the high platform.

Fall to the west walkway below after stepping across the high platform. A

Majini armed with crossbows appear on the nearby high walkways when the
characters drop to the lower east walkway. One will appear from the high
walkway that both characters just dropped from and two more will be on the
north walkway. The machine gun or handgun will work just fine with defeating
them.
Climb up to the north walkway then drop to the lower portion of the walkway
ahead. Two --WOODEN BARRELS-- will be near the right railing after falling.
There is a --WOODEN BARREL-- directly ahead near the east wall. Josh will
begin to tinker with the panel near the locked door.

--> COVER JOSH WHILE HE UNLOCKS THE DOOR
A cutscene will play as Majini and a Chainsaw Majini move out the elevator.
Rush back up the ladder in order to climb back up to the high walkway that the
characters just dropped from. Both characters have got to keep the Majini and
the Chainsaw Majini away from Josh for a few seconds while he unlocks the door
below.
Keep in mind that the Chainsaw Majini will go after Josh and kill him (ending
the game) if the characters move too far away from the Josh. With how narrow
the walkways are, this will be the perfect area to set up a proximity bombs in
order to stun the Chainsaw Majini. The Chainsaw Majini does not have to be
defeated, but if he is then he will drop a ++GOLD RING++ treasure. To fight
off the Chainsaw Majini rather easily, stun him by shooting him in the head
with gunfire then run up and hit him several times with the stun rod before
canceling into a melee attack.
.--------------------------------- WARNING -----------------------------------.
| On Veteran mode, or possibly on Normal mode, the Chainsaw Majini that |
| attacks in this area might revive and enter berserk mode, so be standing by |
| him with a high-powered weapon or place a proximity bomb in his path to |
| finish him off if he does this. Remember that he can be shot while he is |
| getting up and still sustain damage at that time. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Either character can stand right near a ladder as the normal Majini drop |
| from a higher walkway and pin them against the ladder with knife or stun |
| rod attacks. A player can also stand at the top of the ladder and knock |
| them back down it with either weapon as well. |

Now, all the characters have to do is jog across to the north side of the dock,
right? Is it ever that easy? Along the way, both characters will be attacked
by four enemy waves. If the characters brought along at least three hand
grenades then the players won't have any problems here.
--> Wave 1 (Town Majini)
The first wave of enemies will begin to arrive right after the cutscene with
Irving. They come from the east side and are composed of normal Town Majini
with weapons and shouldn't be much of a problem. Toss a hand grenade at them
when they gather to take them all down with one explosion. This is one of the
harder waves to take down with a single hand grenade since they tend to scatter
while moving toward your characters.
--> Wave 2 (Town Majini/ two with crossbows)
Wave 2 will run out from the left corner when the characters move toward the
door on the north side of the dock. Two of them have crossbows. Toss a hand
grenade at them as they begin to gather in front of the door.
The door has been padlocked, so quickly shoot the lock or kick the door three
times to knock it open. If your character tosses a hand grenade at the second
wave then that may very well have destroyed the lock as well.
--> Wave 3 (Four Adjules and one Big Man Majini)
The third wave will run out of the building to the north after stepping through
the door. Four Adjules will step out and one Big Man Majini. Toss a hand
grenade right as the Adjules step outside of the building. For Big Man, you
need to use a Magnum if you want to defeat him. Just shoot him and don't worry
that much about melee. Time is of the essence! He will leave behind a ++GOLD
RING++ if your characters can defeat him.

BEFORE THE CHARACTERS MOVE DOWN THE STAIRS ALONG THE NORTH SIDE...
The characters need to shoot each of the C4 explosives that have been placed
along the first staircase. There are a total of two and if the characters
tossed a hand grenade then the explosion might have set off one of them. Josh
will be waiting for the characters along the side of the second building below.
--> Wave 4 (Town Majini)
The fourth wave is pretty bunched up near the area where your characters meet
up with Josh, so you might have to back off a bit when a hand grenade is tossed
at them. Josh will help out for this fight a bit but really only manages to
help spread the Majini apart, making it harder for your characters to defeat
all of the Majini. A few Majini will already be on the dock then a few more
will exit from the nearby building.
There is nothing inside of the nearby building, so don't worry about stepping
inside. Run toward the boats along the wooden portion of the dock to trigger a
cutscene that will end this chapter!

Once the lever has been pulled, a few Majini and two Kipepeos will attack from
the east. Two Majini armed with dynamite will toss down explosives from the
high walkway in the east. If there happens to be an explosive canister still
up on the walkway then shoot it to take down at least one of them. Use a
sniper rifle to shoot the other. The Kipepeos will fall easy to rifle or a
shotgun, handgun or machine gun or a single flash grenade! Make your way back
to the boat on the other side.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| To get a head start on the next driving sequence, stand near the side of |
| the door closest to the boat and aim past the door to the west. Get the |
| explosive barrels in the distance in your site with a sniper rifle then |
| shoot the explosive barrels to easily defeat the lurking Majini with |
| crossbows that stand near them. The Majini never anticipated you'd read |
| Berserker's guide and know about them way ahead of time. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Get on the boat when you're ready. Make sure you read the tip above.
-- CHECKPOINT
The boat will speed past Majini armed with crossbows on an overhead walkway off
to the left. Find the explosive barrel near them and shoot it. You'll have to
press the button that appears in order to duck up under the low pipe further
ahead or your character will suffer quite a bit of damage. Quickly shoot one
of the explosive barrels on the bridge up above then shoot the Majini on the
pipe ahead. The characters will have to duck up under the low pipe ahead so
prepare to press the button that appears on the screen to duck again.
.--------------------------------- WARNING -----------------------------------.
| If your character gets caught looking through the scope of a rifle when a |
| a pipe is in front of that character, the button prompt for ducking the |
| pipe will not appear, so you might get hit. Stop aiming whenever a pipe is |
| coming into view to avoid this problem. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After the boat moves up under the overhead bridge, shoot the explosive canister
on the back right and back left further ahead to take down the Majini with
crossbows on the high walkways. You'll pass by several Majini with crossbows
along boats and wooden walkways. Try to take down as many as you can while the
boat moves past them. BE SURE to focus aim on the left side since there are
two Majini on that side that carry dynamite and they will toss it toward the
boat as it moves by. The characters can get a slight head start on finishing
off some of the Majini along the side area as the boat prepares to stop.
-- CHECKPOINT
Step off the boat then break the two --WOODEN BARRELS-- on the nearby walkway
and pick up the ++HANDGUN AMMO (+15)++ in the corner of the railing near them.
There is a ++GREEN HERB++ in a corner to the left also.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn and look to the west. You see those mounted gatling guns up above that
are just waiting for a Majini to run behind and operate? Well, once your
characters move further along the walkway to the east Majini will run behind
each of them and begin to fire down at your characters as if I just jinxed you.
Move to the east. The characters will have to take cover behind the wall
around the corner since Majini will start to fire with the mounted gatling guns
to the west. Press the action button when the button prompt appears on either
side of the wall to take cover then equip a rifle and wait for the machine gun
to stop firing; lean out then shoot the head of the Majini that operates each
gatling gun. Take cover and reload in between shots. Remember that you can
reload simply by tapping the run button while taking cover.
You'll also need to shoot a few Majini with crossbows and one with dynamite
that will be firing/tossing explosives at your characters from up above. There
is a lever on both sides of the door, so the characters can take either the
north or south side to get to either one. A character will have to stand at
each one and both will have to flip the lever at the same time.
Let's take the long path to the east, so the characters can grab plenty of
items along the way. Move up the ramp to the east then, before moving up the
next ramp to hop across the gap in the middle, find the side without railing
then drop down to the hidden east wooden walkway. Follow the walkway to the
east then jump across the gap ahead. Move to the shack in the distance then
pick up the ++HANDGUN AMMO (+15)++, ++MACHINE GUN AMMO (+50)++, ++SHOTGUN
SHELLS (+10)++ and ++FIRST AID SPRAY++ from the table inside. Break the
--WOODEN BARREL-- across from the table. Exit the shack then open the metal
case outside of it and grab the ++M3 (SG)++ from the case. There is also
another --WOODEN BARREL-- at the end of the wooden walkway to the east.

Now that the characters have totally ransacked the area while Josh waits
patiently below, let's get to the major task at hand. Each character needs to
stand at a lever on both sides of the area then the characters have to activate
the levers at the same time. On single player mode, use the partner assist
command prompt near one lever then move over to the other lever and activate
it. Also, if you pull on one lever then the other character will activate the
second automatically while your main character waits.
You know very well that something is going to happen once the levers have been
pulled, so let us climb one of the nearby ladders and race back up to the
gatling gun to prepare. Ah, a whole swarm of Kipepeos want to be used as
target practice! You can stand near one gatling gun and get your AI partner to
use it by pressing the partner assist button near it if you're playing single
player.
The Kipepeos will fall like flies as long as the mounted gatling gun is used to
defeat them. There is a single Majini with a crossbow that will step into view
behind the wooden wall to the north below. This is the same wall that the
characters can take cover behind, so shoot him as he peeps out from the long
opening along the wall. Be sure to watch the overheating gauge in the lower
right corner as the gun is used and stop firing for a few seconds if it is
about to overheat.
On your way back to the boat, two more Kipepeos and some Majini will attack.
The two Majini on the back walkways will be armed with dynamite. A few more
Majini and Kipepeos may appear below also.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| When the Majini and Kipepeos appear below, the characters can simply return |
| to the gatling guns and fire at them to avoid wasting ammo from their |
| arsenal. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once the players are ready, return to the boat and Josh will drive through the
open gate ahead and a cutscene will trigger. The cutscene that plays will give
way to a boss fight.

IRVING
------
HP: 8,500 (Tentacles)
HP: 12,000 (Main Body)
HP: 13,000 (Irving's Body)
Weak Points: - Top glowing portion of head (visible while he moves beside or
behind the boat)
- Middle portion of tentacles (visible when his tentacles move out
of the water while beside or behind the boat. While behind,
they will only appear when his main weak point is showcased.)
- Irving's body (visible after the top portion of the head takes
enough damage. The mouth will open and Irving's body will be
exposed. This is his main weak point.)
Attacks:
--> While swimming on either side of the boat or behind the boat (with or
without human body exposed)
1) Submerged Dashing Bite: Irving swims toward the boat then quickly emerges
with his mouth open and snaps at the side of the boat near him. A button
prompt dodge command will appear as the jaws close together in order to
dodge the attack with a roll.
2) Tentacle Stab: A tentacle plows into the floor of the boat from above. A
button prompt dodge command will appear right before the tentacle smashes
onto the boat.
--> While behind the boat (behind only without human body exposed)
3) Dashing Bite: While above the water's surface and behind the boat, Irving
slowly swims toward the boat then snaps at the top side of the boat in front
of him with his jaws. A button prompt dodge command will appear right
before the jaws close together in order to dodge the attack with a roll.
The only real difference here is that he is in plain view while he dashes
toward the boat.
--> While submerged
4) Tentacle Grab: While completely underwater, a tentacle moves up out of the
water and falls down toward a character to grab that character. A button
prompt command will appear in order to dodge this attack. If a character is
grabbed, that character will have to shake the left thumbstick to break free
or the partner can free the character through normal gunfire or turret fire.
--> THE FOUR TURRETS
There are four turrets spread around the boat on all four corners. They can
all be used by pressing and holding the L1 button near them. In single player
mode, the partner assist button can be pressed near a turret to make the
partner use the turret. The partner will stay at the turret until another
command is issued.
Here's the breakdown of the turrets on the boat:
Northeast turret: rocket launcher
Northwest turret: rocket launcher
Southeast turret: gatling gun
Southwest turret: gatling gun
In single player, it is really best for the main player to try out each type of
gun see how well your aiming is. The rocket launcher has to be aimed more
precisely and a player has to keep in mind that the boat is moving, so
sometimes the player will have to aim a bit in front of the targeted point in
order to hit it. The AI partner doesn't have much of problem aiming with
either turret type. Either way, like a raging Snow_Infernus caught up in one
of his Lost Planet online battles, find that weak point (think of it as a heat
source) on the head and blast it with the gatling gun (machine gun), rocket
launcher, plasma rif... oh wait.
--> WHEN HE MOVES BESIDE THE BOAT
While the creature is swimming on either side of the boat, it will have the
glowing portion of its head exposed in plain view. Use this time to fire at
the glowing portion of the head with a turret or normal gunfire. Normal
gunfire may not seem like much, but it can be more accurate. For those of you
on you second playthrough, normal gunfire may indeed be better than either
turret with a highly upgraded weapon.
While using the rocket launcher turret, you will have to adjust your aiming
based on whether the creature is moving fast or not. Aim in front of the weak
spot just a bit if it is moving fast and aim almost directly at the weak spot
if it isn't moving too quickly. One precise shot to the glowing portion with
the rocket launcher will damage it quite a bit and make it reveal its main weak
point faster.
The creature will eventually submerge and four tentacles will move out of the
water on his current side. Aim for the center portion of each tentacle and
blast it to destroy the tentacle. One rocket aimed at the midportion will
destroy each one and just a bit of gatling gun fire will easily cut off a
tentacle as well. Even normal gunfire will destroy them easily on normal mode.
The tentacles will constantly reform if they are not destroyed fast enough.
A button prompt command will appear on the screen eventually as each character
stands in place. That is your cue to know that he is about to perform a
tentacle stab to that character, so quickly press the on-screen button to have
your character roll to the side to avoid it - either the action or run button.
On normal mode, both buttons can be pressed at the same time for a guaranteed
avoidance whenever a button prompt appears. You can avoid the prompts
altogether by constantly moving but you'll need to stand still to hit the
tentacles however.
Destroying the tentacles will cause the boss to attack less and it will also
make it emerge from the water faster. Once it emerges, it might race toward
the boat then quickly try to bite the characters. A button prompt command will
appear, so press the button displayed on the screen to roll out of the way of
the creature's jaws.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| It is usually best to walk toward the middle portion of whichever side the |
| the creature is on whenever it is about to perform its bite attack; this |
| way, the button prompt will appear on the screen for sure. If you stand to |
| the side then the button prompt might only appear for a few seconds as your |
| character enters the hit detection portion of the beast's jaws, giving you |
| less time to react. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
The creature will usually rush toward the boat and ram it if it doesn't perform
a bite. This will only jar the boat a bit and shake the characters. No damage
will be sustained.
--> WHEN HE MOVES BEHIND THE BOAT
The creature might move behind the boat. When it does this, the same rules
still apply as to when it was moving beside the boat but the characters will
have to run to the south set of turrets and fire at him. The top portion of
his head will be revealed from a different angle and it is actually much easier
to hit with rockets this time since the characters will have a full frontal
view.
It will eventually race toward the boat while still on the water's surface and
attempt to bite the characters. Use the button prompt dodge command to avoid
this attack.
--> WHEN HE IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
After he has left the back of the boat, tentacles might appear and they will
slap the surface of the boat in an attempt to grab your characters. All the
characters really have to do is simply move out of the path of a tentacle, but
a button prompt will appear before a tentacle makes contact with a character if
one happens to be in the way.
The tentacles will grab any character that one manages to make contact with.
The grabbed character will need to shake the left thumbstick in order to break
free from the grapple. It is possible to free your partner from the grab with
gunfire, but you won't have time to rush to a turret unless you're already
controlling one, so most of the time it would be best to fire at the tentacle
with normal gunfire.
--> WHEN HE LATCHES ONTO THE BACK OF THE BOAT
After the top glowing portion of the creature's head receives enough damage,
the creature will latch his two main tentacles on to the back of the boat. The
creature's mouth will open to showcase Irving's body, which is attached to the
inside portion of the mouth. Irving's normal body is the beast's main weak
point. Focus most of your gunfire on his normal body and he will fall
eventually.
Two tentacles will move out of the water on each of his sides. The tentacles
will curve straight upward and wiggle in the air for a bit just like before.
These can be shot in the middle and broken in half just like the tentacles from
earlier. Don't focus aim solely on Irving's human body since the creature's
tentacles will be constantly trying to stab your characters and you'll
constantly receive button prompt commands if that is the case, which will limit
your firing time at each turret or while standing and firing. Try to take
down the tentacles at a steady rate before switching fire back at Irving's
body. Each character should destroy the tentacles closest to each side that
they are currently at.
He will eventually move back under the water. While he is submerged, he will
be preparing to rush toward the boat for a quick lunging bite, so move toward
the center and prepare to press the button that appears in order to dodge the
attack. He will go back to exposing his human body after the bite then
alternate between the two again for the remainder of the battle.

Step past the fire surrounded by rocks to the east and move into the cave
tunnel up ahead. A hole in the ceiling of the tunnel allows light to shine
through the middle portion as the character continue to the area up ahead.
More light pours into the tunnel from further to the east. After stepping past
the first few bones along the path ahead, a new enemy will surface from the
ground to spoil the mood during a slight cutscene.
NEW ENEMY: Bui kichwa
The spider parasites that appear are referred to as Bui kichwa. These spider-
like enemies can be taken down easily with a few shots from the handgun or
machine gun. They are completely weak against a sudden burst of light however.
If a character tosses a flash grenade then all Bui kichwa in the area will
instantly fall.
These enemies attack by latching onto a character. Once latched on, the player
must shake the left thumbstick to break free. The character can still walk
while the Bui kichwa is attached, but the player cannot act in any way. It is
best for a partner to perform a partner assist melee attack from nearby to
slash the Bui kichwa off the character.
Use the handgun or the machine gun to fight off the first few Bui kichwa. Only
four Bui kichwa will attack in the first wave. Move further down the tunnel as
it curves to the north and another wave of Bui kichwa will attack from around
the corner near the wooden ladder.
Ignore the ladder for right now and move to the northeast along the current

After the cutscene that showcases the area, the characters will start out on a
walkway that overlooks the ancient village below. Notice all the bats that
flutter by in the distance; our extermination team can't shoot them if you're
wondering. Follow the walkway to the north as the characters engage in
conversation. Drop from the gap in the walkway up ahead.
Turn to the right and break the two nearby --VASES--. Look up while facing the

Partner 1 needs to fall off the side of the bridge and move to the north.
Wetland Majini will soon attack this player. If you are in single player mode,
issue the Go command and your AI partner will help you out more aggressively at
this part. Partner 1 can really take out these Majini without the assistance
of cover fire, but cover fire can help out a bit at the beginning of the battle
for the Majini with explosive arrows beyond the stairs up ahead.
A Majini with a shield will move down the east path up ahead and a Majini with
explosive arrows will shoot at the player from the background in that same
direction. Remember that a character can simply fire at the feet of a shielded
Majini and run behind it for an instant kill melee command.
Pick up the ++GREEN HERB++ from off the nearby fallen pillar. A few more
Majini will move down the east set of stairs and attack.

Partner 2 should provide cover fire for the character below while standing on
the north ledge that overlooks the area below. Some Majini armed with
explosive arrows will drop down from the side of the walls in the east, so arm
a rifle and defeat the while Partner 1 handles the situation below. It's good
to stand at the top and watch Partner 1's battle through a sniper rifle scope
and help out when needed once the Majini with explosive arrows are defeated.
Partner 2 should face the east as Partner 1 runs up under the overhead walkway
since a few more Majini will move down the stairs after him.
Partner 2 doesn't have to stay on the top walkway at all. This partner could
easily move to the east and go down the staircase to regroup with Partner 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the way up the east set of stairs, Partner 1 should use a knife to break
the torch in the middle section of the stairs then pick up the ++TOPAZ (PEAR)++

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
A group of Bui kichwa will burrow out of the floor down the hall ahead. Toss a
flash grenade or fight them off with a handgun or machine gun. This part can
get pretty confusing if both characters stand in the middle of the area since
Majini and Bui kichwa will come from all sides, so quickly choose a hallway
then run to the end of it to keep from getting attacked from all sides.
The Majini drop from the holes in the ceiling and the Bui kichwa continuously
burrow out of the ground. Use a flash grenade if any enemy type ever gets out
of control. Eventually a Majini with a torch will attack. This type of Majini
can blow fire in front of him, so always knock him away if he ever pauses while
in close range. He wears a mask, that has to be broken in order to perform a
head stun, so shoot him in the legs then run behind him and perform an instant
kill melee on him.
The door to the north will open toward the end of the battle. Stay behind and
defeat all the enemies since there are some treasures that need to be
collected from the chests at each end. Open the west chest for an ++EMERALD

for a ++SAPPHIRE (TRILLIANT)++.

Step out the north door after opening all the chests. Stand along the walkway

anything out of the ordinary, like that --BSAA MEDAL (20/30)-- above the tall
door directly ahead? A player will need rifle to hit this one most likely. If
you can hit it with a machine gun then you have impressed me somewhat! Still,
there is one much further away then this later, young grasshopper.

rifle and stand along the walkway just outside the door. Look
far up above the door to the north and you'll see this on a

If you look on the floor below, three Majini armed with shields and two Majini
armed with explosive arrows are waiting for the characters. Try to shoot both
of the Majini with the explosive arrows to rid the characters of that nuisance
then fall down below and prepare to battle the Majini with shields. Once
again, remember that you can aim toward a leg with a machine gun then tap the
trigger for a stun and perform an instant kill melee from behind each one
without having to worry about wasting much ammo!
-- CHECKPOINT
There are altogether 15 --VASES-- on the floor up ahead. Don't worry about the
vases right now. When your characters rush toward the area to the north, large
flaming wooden spheres with spikes will roll out of the east and west holes
along the wall in the background. Stand in the center area with the crank and
they cannot hit the characters. Both players need to use the partner assist
command while standing near a handle along the center area to rotate the crank
in the middle area.
Once the crank is rotated the door to the north will open during a cutscene but
the door will slowly start to close again. A player must quickly run toward
the door and dodge through the flaming spheres and make it up under the door
before it closes. The player will step on a floor pressure pad afterward and
the door will remain open.
.----------------------------------- EXTRA -----------------------------------.
| If a character makes it to the closing door and can't make it under the |
| door an extra "Jump In" action command may appear while near the closing |
| door. Press the action button at that time, to make your character dive |
| under the door. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.------------------------------------ TIPS -----------------------------------.
| 1) Both characters can rotate the crank before the flaming spheres move out |
| of the back walls and this will make it to where a character can get an |
| early start and won't have to rush through as many flaming spheres. |
| |
| 2) The cutscene when the door opens can be skipped to gain a few extra |

there holds the final two chains that need to be pulled. Don't you just hate
it when a game places your ultimate destination right in front of you
beforehand and blocks it off slightly?
I'll go ahead and let you in on the BSAA emblem for this area. Look off to the
west then look up toward the high ledge on the west wall to see a --BSAA EMBLEM

to hit it from this far away, but later in this area, I'll call your attention
to it again when it can easily be hit with a normal weapon.

the jump command to hop over to the walkway on the left. Follow the wooden
stairs upward. Once the characters reach the midportion of the stairs, take
out a gun and aim up toward the ceiling to see a ++TOPAZ (SQUARE)++ treasure
attached to the ceiling near the hole in the wall. Shoot it down then collect
it.

Move down the stairs directly ahead to the north. Stand in the center floor
piece. The area to the northwest is your destination but there is a statue
there that requires both characters to be on opposite sides of some rock debris
in order to activate it. If you're playing solo, then you'll have to enter
from both sides but if two people are playing then both players should enter
the northwest area from opposite ends - the path to the north (then turn left)
and the path to the west (then turn right).
Follow the path directly ahead to the north. Turn to the left after stepping
into the grassy area and find the --VASE-- behind the tall grass off to the
left then break it.

Run toward the chain with the handle on it that is hanging from the front of
the blue statue in the northwest. On co-op mode both characters should stand
on opposite sides and pull the chain handle. On single player, examine the
handle and your partner will stand at this chain handle and tell your character
to pull the other one. Simply run back along the outside walkway then head
around the northwest side and pull the other handle.
Along the way to the handle, turn to the left before entering the grassy area
and open the metal case on the block to the left then take the ++GRENADE
LAUNCHER++ from the case. The grenade launcher comes equipped with a full set
of 12 explosive rounds, which is perfect for normal enemy crowds and for a much
bigger enemy later in this area!

Run over to the east (right) end of the current area and follow the path back
to the middle of the labyrinth. Turn right this time and you'll be greeted
with a staircase that leads to the second floor of the labyrinth. Move up this
west set of stairs and a green statue will lie in view at the very top. Don't
pull the chains at this moment though. Turn to the left while facing the
statue then hop across the gap in the walkway to the left and open the chest
then pick up the ++IDOL (GOLD)++ from inside.

Hop back across. Now both characters should pull the chain handles on the

Turn around and move along the newly formed east walkway. If you are trying to
shoot the BSAA Emblem in this area with a normal gun instead of a rifle then,
while standing on the middle of this walkway, turn and face the green statue
then look directly up. This is the closest the characters can get to it in
order to shoot it with a normal weapon.
Follow the walkway in front of the green statue then turn to the right and
follow that south walkway. Arm a rifle now since some Majini will attack from
off to the east in just a moment. Once the characters move to the midportion
of the south walkway, Wetland Majini will appear from the high east walkway.
Stand along the portion of the wall with the hole for a little cover then aim
up toward the high east walkway with the rifle and shoot the Majini with the
explosive arrows then aim toward the east stairs with a rifle and shoot the
other Majini with explosive arrows. It's really best to stay on the current
walkway and allow the Majini to move around the corner and attack your
character instead of moving around the far corner and meeting up with them;
this way when the second wave of Majini arrive, your characters won't be out
the open when the next Majini with explosive arrows appears.
Once the Majini group together along the walkway, take out the grenade launcher
and fire at them. This weapon's explosive rounds will cause an explosion that
will knock down and badly damage a group of Majini. Don't be afraid to use
some of its ammo here; you'll want to keep around six explosive rounds for the
big enemy that will appear in this area later though. Eventually another
(smaller) wave of Wetland Majini will arrive. Take out the rifle once again and
find the Majini with the explosive arrows up on the lower east walkway then
shoot him. The second wave isn't all that bad, so you really don't need the
grenade launcher for them. Use the H&K MP5 for the Majini with the shield.
You probably haven't picked up on it yet thanks to the changed stairs and
blocked off entrance but the characters are actually back at the beginning of
the labyrinth on the side that they started from. There is a difference this
time though; the path to the far east is no longer a dead end! Move along the
path to the east and go down the stairs off to the left that lead to the middle
of the labyrinth. Turn right and follow the north set of stairs upward.
The characters will be face to face with a yellow statue. Both characters
should pull the two chain handles along the sides of the yellow stature just
like the other statues. The yellow statue will move back into the wall and
reveal a ++TOPAZ (SQUARE)++ below it. The staircase to the east will now lower
and reveal a walkway leading to the east area below.

Turn to the right and look around the side of the stair railing to see a path

find two sets of ++FLASH ROUNDS (+3)++ inside.

[ ] Flash Rounds (+3)- Inside of the chest around the east side of the

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purple statue along the northeast side of the nearby walkway is bit more
tricky to activate than the others. There are actually two purple statues.
One of them is on the second floor and the other is on the bottom floor below
the first. You can get one character to stay up on the current floor then have
the other character move down to the bottom floor, but the character that moves
down to the bottom floor will get ambushed by enemies.
The top floor character can play sniper at that time and shoot the enemies from
up above. I find it best for both characters to move down to the bottom floor
to take on the enemy wave below, just in case one enters dying status. In
single player mode, if the main player examines the top floor chain then the AI
partner will stay near it until your main character issues the "Come on"
command.
Either way, move back down the stairs in front of the yellow statue then make a
left at the center portion and move along the newly formed walkway to the left.
Turn and step into the south area first of all. Break the three --VASES-- to
the south. One of them holds a proximity bomb, which will definitely come in
handy after the final statue is activated.

Step into the north area with the lower purple statue. When the main character
examines the chain handle in single player, the partner will automatically run
back toward the chain handle on the second floor. The enemy wave will not
appear until the partner is halfway up the stairs while moving toward the
second floor. Both characters should really fight this wave of enemies
together once they appear from the top walkways however. In co-op play, the
enemies sometimes appear on the top floor to attack the top player if one stays
behind.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| To keep both players together, examine the bottom floor statue so that the |
| character grabs a hold of the chain handle then wait for the AI partner to |
| move up the stairs and listen for the battle music to start. At that time, |
| press the action button to release the character's grip then quickly issue |
| a "Come on" command to get the AI partner to rejoin your character for the |
| fight below. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Bui kichwa will be the first set of enemies to appear as they burrow out of the
ground. Arm the grenade launcher with flash rounds and shoot a flash round to
get rid of the majority of them. Wetland Majini armed with spears, claws and
torches will attack along with more Bui kichwa throughout the battle. Don't be
afraid to pull out the grenade launcher with explosive rounds if needed to do
major damage to a whole crowd. You'll mainly want to use the shotgun here when
the enemies start to mount up and the usual shot to a vital area + melee works
like always.
Once the battle is over, one player should pull the chain handle on the bottom
statue and the other player should pull the chain handle on the top statue. In
single player, pull the bottom handle and the AI partner will pull the handle
on the top floor. Pick up the ++RUBY (PEAR)++ from the floor in front of the
bottom statue after the two statues slide back into the wall then run upstairs
and grab the ++SAPPHIRE (PEAR)++ from the floor in front of the top statue.
The AI partner will not grab either one. Pulling on the chains will cause the
south staircase to move into the floor and make a walkway, which can be used to
gain entry to the southwest area.

POPOKARIMU
----------
HP: 12,000
Weak Points: - Reddish back end of tail
Recommended - Proximity Bomb (to stun Popokarimu)
Weapon(s): - Grenade Launcher w/Explosive Rounds (to stun and damage
Popokarimu)
- Machine Gun or Handgun (to blast the back end of his tail from
long range)
- Shotgun (to blast the back end of his tail from close range)
Front Attacks
1) Arm Swipe - Popokarimu swings its right arm forward.
2) Lunge - Popokarimu backs up a bit then stops and races forward then swings
its left arm forward. This can be dodged with a button prompt that appears.
Either the action button or run button will appear. Press both!
3) Shriek - Popokarimu folds out its wings then shrieks. This will stun
whichever character is in front of it as long as the shriek last but it will
not damage a character. This move will also put enough sound pressure on a
proximity bomb to make it explode if one is in front Popokarimu at that
time.
4) Ground Smash - Popokarimu leaps into the air then attempts to fall on a
character. It will take quite a while to recover from this attack if it
misses.
Back Attacks:
5) Tail Swipe - While a character is behind him, Popokarimu swings its
scorpion-like tail at the character.
6) Sticky Slime - Popokarimu lifts its tail behind it then fires out a sticky
greenish slime that will trap any character that it hits. A character must
struggle to break free or have a partner cut them out of the trap with a
partner assist knife attack.
You didn't think your characters could just walk out of here freely did you?
Hah. A Popokarimu much like that pesky bat creature that the characters fought
at the end of chapter 2-2 will be in front of the characters after the
cutscene. This Popokarimu fight is completely optional unlike that bastard
fought in chapter 2-2. He carries all the same moves as the other one except
he can't take flight during the actual battle.
--> THE OLE' RUN OVER THE PROXIMITY BOMB ROUTINE
One way to fight this Popokarimu is to use proximity bombs like in the last
battle, or a character can use the grenade launcher for some extremely good
results. There was a proximity bomb in the right vase in the southeast area of
the bottom floor if a character bothered to break them. A character can place
the bomb then lead the Popokarimu toward it. The blast will knock the boss
over just like before then both characters can run over to his weak end on the
back of his tail and blast at it with powerful weapons.
--> INTRODUCE HIM TO THE GRENADE LAUNCHER
Popokarimu can be taken down insanely fast with the use of explosive rounds
with the grenade launcher. Shoot him anywhere on his body, but wait for him to
recover from each stagger before he is hit with each explosive round. After
three explosive rounds have hit him, Popokarimu will fall. The character with
the grenade launcher can rush to his tail end at that time and dish out some
heavy punishment with constant explosive rounds to the tail and actually kill
him right then.
--> SURROUND HIM
Both characters can also get on opposite sides of the Popokarimu and the
character in the back can damage the creature from the back end of its tail.
This will eventually make it fall over to where both characters can rush in and
damage it by hitting the back portion of its tail.
--> STILL THE SAME OLE'...
This Popokarimu has half amount of life as in the last battle with the one in
Chapter 2-2, which isn't much, so he isn't that hard to take down at all. At
default M3 shotgun level, the following will kill him on normal mode:
One proximity bomb to knock him over -> shotgun blast (to tail) -> shotgun
blast -> shotgun blast -> shotgun blast -> shotgun blast -> reload through
inventory during fifth blast -> shotgun blast
To avoid inventory reloading, simply upgrade the capacity of the M3.
The Popokarimu will drop a ++SOUL GEM++ treasure.

--> RUNNING FROM POPOKARIMU
If the players choose to run from the boss, then both characters should run
toward the staircase to the east. Move up the middle set of stairs. A
cutscene will showcase the Popokarimu as it chases the characters once they
reach the middle portion of the stairs. At the very top, another cutscene will
play and both players will need to tap the run button rapidly once the
characters start to run in order to survive the cutscene as the Popokarimu runs
forward and plows into the tunnel while in pursuit of both characters.
-> COMMAND INPUT 1
Sequence: Chris and Sheva quickly dash into the corridor at the top of the
stairs as Popokarimu jumps toward the corridor.
Type: Rapid button tap
Command: Dodge
The Popokarimu will get crushed up under two statues as it tries to enter the
tunnel while following the characters. It's worth seeing this cutscene at
least once and there is no checkpoint afterward so all a players has to do is
restart through the pause menu if that person wants to fight him and gain his
dropped item.
Either way, be sure to taunt his dead body when he finally falls (it's a habit
of mine) then move up the staircase that leads to the third floor in the north
portion of the labyrinth. Both players must use the partner assist button to
open the exit door down the tunnel at the top of the stairs.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Move up the next set of stairs and step toward the middle of the Worship Area.
Whether you play the role of exterminator with the bats in this area is up to
you and your partner... or "pahrtna'".
Walk toward the door with the three circular slots up ahead. This area
requires the characters to find emblems that can be placed onto the door. The
emblems are hidden in the rooms on the east and west side of the Worship area.
The players are completely free as to deciding the route they take and which
emblem to go after first. I'll start with the west side.
----------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTIGATION
[ ] Door with Three Slots - Examine the door with the three slots in the middle
of the Worship Area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the characters move toward either side, a cutscene will play that will
showcase a device that fires out a focused blast of sunlight that will produce
a laser. The laser will shoot across each of the narrow side paths and then
stop briefly. Your characters will have a few seconds to run to a destination
in between the laser fire. The trails of fire behind the laser cannot hit your
character; only the actual laser will damage a character. The characters can
take shelter in doorways or along side alcoves. Keep in mind that a few of the
alcoves contain items, which I'll direct you to.
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| The light pillar lasers are controlled by Majini from the back side of |
| each of them. The Majini can be shot once your characters get right next |
| to the light pillars. The light pillar laser on the west side has a small |
| hole in the wall of the south side where the Majini that controls that |
| laser can barely be seen with a rifle that has a high magnification scope. |
| If you look through the very small opening in the wall to the left of the |
| door with the emblem slots, a player can just BARELY make out his head as |
| it bobs between the left side of the small opening in front of the flames |
| behind the light pillar device. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
The lasers will take great damage from either player if one of the beams
manages to hit either character. In single player mode, the AI partner will
usually watch out for the lasers, but the partner sometimes gets caught by the
laser fire, so you might have to heal your partner every now and then.
--> OBTAINING THE SEA EMBLEM (west)
Don't worry too much about the Majini that appears on the west side after the
cutscene. He always stands in the middle of the path and gets killed off by
the laser. Yes, these beams can be used to your advantage to take down
enemies! Ignore the doorway to the south for now and time a run down the south
portion of the west path. The characters can take cover in the nearby alcove
or the doorways along the way. Break the two --VASES-- in the south alcove.

characters begin to leave. Arm the shotgun or magnum and blast the Giant
Majini. Be sure to take advantage of melee attacks with both characters
(double team) when he is stunned. Use the "Go" command to make your partner
step forward for the second hit after your player attacks with a melee.

--> OBTAINING THE SKY EMBLEM (northwest)
Leave the area and take the west path to the north while avoiding the laser by
stepping into the side alcoves. Step into the first right alcove along the
path with the laser and break the --VASE--. Run directly ahead then step
toward the area with the stairs off to the left but DON'T step on the walkway
further to the left; stay on the stairs since another laser will be moving down
that walkway. After the laser on the right side passes by again quickly run to
the far north and break the two --VASES-- underneath where the laser shoots.
Both characters are completely safe while standing underneath the laser.

The north walkway that your characters are beside actually has two lasers that
run along it. One of them starts in the west and the other starts in the east.
The two of them appear at each end then quickly zip to the opposite end. Time
a run so that your characters can run all the way to the west after the lasers
move past the current opening.
Run to the walkway in the northwest then break the two --VASES-- along the
right walkway after escaping the lasers. An assist jump action will need to be

Sheva will land on the opposite side and a few Wetland Majini will move down
the stairs and attack. A Giant Majini is at the very top of the stairs and it
might come after Sheva or Chris, so both of the characters really need to be
prepared to deal with it. The Sheva player can always escape the area by
dropping down the east end of the area above.

Chris can provide some slight cover fire for Sheva, but not much. Most of this

Once the characters regroup, return to the path with the two lasers zipping to
the west and the east along it. After a laser movement, quickly run to the
east and take shelter in the area with the stairs. Wait for the lasers to move
by again then make a mad dash to the east and move up under the overhead
bridge. Haul ass until you reach the broken wall up ahead. Once the
characters step past the broken wall in the east, they are safe from the lasers
on the north walkway.
Break the nearby --VASE-- while catching your breath. Step along the small
wooden walkway to the east and break the --VASE-- along the way. Around the

You'll basically get the drop on some Majini by entering from the second floor.
They will be to the east and below the nearby stairs. Several of them will
attack. Try to take down the ones with the explosive arrows first of all and
you'll want to focus attention on the one with torches as well. One of the
Majini with explosive arrows is up on a high ledge on the south wall, though he
likely won't be much of a problem unless the characters try to run toward the
emblem up ahead right away.
After the battle, step up to the top of the second set of stairs in this area
and look on the south wall. Along the damaged portion, find a brick along the

Kill the spider and the snake on the floor in this first area for some possible
gold and an egg. Even the spider on the west wall might drop some gold. The
vermin in this area are loaded.
Move down the stairs to the north. There should be another spider toward the
end of the stairs. Examine the door in the north and it will slide open. Once
the characters enter the room ahead, the door will seal off.
--> MIRROR PUZZLE ROOM 1
The characters will now be in a room with several stone mirrors that reflect a
beam throughout the middle portion of the room. Coming into contact with the
beam in any way will kill a character.
In order to move a stone mirror, stand in the back of it, where the handle is
located then hold the aiming button to make your character grip the handle.
The mirror can be turned to the right or left. To avoid accidentally turning
the mirror the wrong way and exposing your character to the light beam, let go
of the aiming button quickly if your character begins to turn the mirror the
wrong way and this will keep your character from coming into contact with the
beam.
The stone mirrors in this area must be turned so that the beams focuses light
on the far northwest stone mirror. The stone mirror in the northwest is
actually attached to an elevator that is powered by the beam's energy.
Your AI partner will stand on the north platform with stairs and watch as your
character solves the puzzle. A player can stand on the platform with stairs
and step to the edge for an "Investigate" prompt that will switch to a
viewpoint of the entire area once activated.

to the east and the west. The doors will quickly close after the enemies crawl
out of the rooms. Toss a flash grenade or shoot a flash round with the grenade

Walk back out into the middle room with mirrors. Now, the mirrors must be

FREAKING GOD, NOT YOU AGAIN?! I guess the valve handle on the door should have
told me that some remnants of Resident Evil 2 reside here.
NEW ENEMY: Licker Beta
Anyway, a Licker Beta will bust through the glass window off to the left. Why
do you bastards enjoy shattering glass so much, huh? The Lickers lost the
battle with the last Redfield and they sure as hell won't stand up to the new
and improved uber version of Claire's brother.
Only two Licker Betas will attack from the side room. Take out a shotgun and
aim down at them then shoot to knock them over. Keep in mind that a shotgun
blast isn't always enough to knock over a Licker Beta. They still hop right
back up the same as they do in any Resident Evil, so don't ever assume them to
be down for the count. After knocking one of them down with the shotgun, it is
best to wait until it is fully recovered and about to move again before
shooting it again; this will help to make sure that your character knocks it
down with each blast. If a blast doesn't knock it down then you'll have a
tendency to get hit in between gunshot animations.
The Licker Betas have a special kill that can be achieved on each one of them
once a character moves toward them while they are down on their backside; you
have to watch for them to scream and kick their legs in the air. Once they
perform that action, run up to the downed Licker Beta to get a "Stab" command.
Perform this extra melee attack to finish them off for good. They will only be
stunned like this when they are near death.
.------------------------------ NORMAL MODE TIP ------------------------------.
| Shoot a Licker Beta with an acid round from the grenade launcher and it |
| will immediately fall over to where it can be stabbed in order to finish it |
| off. An acid round's area effect of acid spread will knock down |
| surrounding Licker Betas in the same way, making acid rounds very helpful |
| for grounding and spreading damage among multiple Licker Betas. |
| |
| Licker Betas are much weaker to acid rounds on normal mode. On Veteran |
| mode, acid rounds will not always be enough to knock them down with one |
| shot. |

These Licker Betas are some of the most dangerous enemies in the game. They
have two types of grabs. Both of them are mid distance. Whenever they shoot
out their blade tongue, they can stab a character in place and hold the
character and whenever they raise a right hand then suddenly jump they can pin
a character to the floor. To escape the tongue stab, your character can
sidestep it and to escape the lunge, your character will have to press the
action and run button at the same time for a counter attack once the button
prompt appears before the lunge. The killing lunge has a slight button prompt
counter attack command where the targeted character can melee the licker back
down to the ground.
Both grabs can be escaped if a partner performs a partner assist melee action
to break the victim free. If a grab connects and a partner does not help then
the tongue grab can be escaped by shaking the left thumbstick but the lunge
grab will instantly kill any character that is not saved moments after the grab
has been initiated.
One of the Licker Betas will drop a ++LION HEART++ treasure. Lickers will drop
this from time to time.

Oy.
Pick up the ++HANDGUN AMMO (+10)++ from off the floor in front of the stairs
then move up the stairs. Break the --TALL CRATE-- off to the left at the top

Turn to the left. Dear god...
Each of the holding areas contains a group of Licker Betas. The holding area
on the left contains five Licker Betas and the holding area on the right
contains three Licker Betas. The only thing that separates the character from
them is three glass panels on each side... and we all know that Lickers have
this obsession with breaking all nearby glass. You know its coming, don't you?
DO NOT:
- Break the glass
- Fire a weapon
- Run
- Issue a Partner Command (Go, Come on, Wait, Thanks)
- Taunt
- Kick through a door
If the characters remain silent without performing any of the actions listed
above then the Lickers will stay in their holding cells for the moment.
Strangely, the characters can communicate through requests and partner
responses without alerting the Lickers yet a partner command or taunt will
alert the Lickers.
Gently open the door on the other side of the room with a single tap of the
action button. Kick it open and you'll pay dearly. Four glass panels separate
the five Licker Betas from the characters in the room behind the door. You see
the ventilation duct up ahead? Two more Licker Betas will exit from that air
duct if the characters alert the others right now.
Sadly, the door ahead requires a swift kick from both characters in order to
open it, so both players should walk toward it and press the assist button to
kick it open. Cries of a sudden urgency to break every glass panel in the room
will sound from behind the characters as they kick the door then the Licker
Betas will exit the holding cells and attack. Two Licker Betas will exit the
ventilation shaft off to the side for a grand total of ten Licker Betas. Oh
dear. YOU'VE DONE IT NOAW!1
There are many ways the characters can approach this battle:
- Lay out Proximity Bombs one at a time along the narrow hall and allow the
Licker Betas to move over them (RECOMMENDED).
- Stand at one end of the hall and toss a hand grenade at the Licker Betas as
they begin to group together. Try to get the hand grenade underneath them as
they form a group and it will instantly kill them all. This method can be
bad since it can knock a few Lickers toward the characters.
- Take out a grenade launcher with acid rounds and fire at the Licker Beta
group. Acid will stun a group and set them all up for a stab - DON'T rush in
for a single stab upon a group however or that character will get surrounded
afterward. Acid rounds still work very well at damaging them however. Acid
rounds are really only effective on normal mode however.
- Take out a grenade launcher with explosive rounds and fire at the Licker
Betas when they group together. This is worse than using grenades really
since it tends to scatter them, but it's good for knocking down a whole
crowd.
- Haul ass to the elevator at the end and pray that it opens quickly while your
character and partner hold off the approaching Licker Betas with gunfire from
any weapon.
The characters need to race down the hall ahead and use the action button
prompt near the elevator to call it down. There are a total of three --TALL
CRATES-- outside the elevator that can be broken.

Trophy/Achievement: Egg Hunt
Description: Find all 4 types of eggs.
Details: One of the Licker Betas in the group sometimes drops a rotten egg
(1/10 chance for me), which is the hardest type of egg to find in story mode,
so fight them off and see if one of them drops a rotten egg and this will most
likely complete your collection for the trophy/achievement. If it doesn't then
go back to the Chicken Island in chapter 3-1 to collect any missing eggs. A
gold egg is rather common there.
Also, while we're on the subject of rotten eggs, the enemies in the next few
chapters have a tendency to drop a rotten egg rarely, so if you can't get one
here then you might be able to get it in the following chapters. Chapter 6-1
is a really good chapter for rotten egg drops with the number of Majini
present.

while standing next to it with a hand grenade in inventory)
- Damaged portion of carapace (once a grenade has been tossed into
its mouth)
Attacks:
1) Pincher Strike - U-8 holds one its pincher arms back and rakes it across the
platform in front of it. The best way to avoid this move is to back off from
the area directly in front of the creature.
2) Blade Snip - U-8 leans backward a bit as his bottom half rises then he snips
forward with his two bottom blade arms. This can either be escaped by pressing
the button prompt command that appears on the screen or by moving far enough
away from the creature. The run button is always the button input command that
appears.
3) Stunning Fall - Whenever U-8 is stunned by hitting his gripping arms, his
head can crush a character and take damage if a character is under his head
portion, so always remain away from his head while attempting to stun him.
4) Head Ram - U-8 moves back and latches onto the wall behind it shortly before
it lunges forward onto the section of the platform in front of it. Much like
the pincher strike, its best to move away from the boss' front half. It's easy
to see this move coming since he gives ample warning with the way he gets into
place along the wall, so simply run to a side.
5) Insect Release - U-8 climbs onto the wall far above then releases several
small insects that will move toward the platform and attack the characters.
The insects can be easily taken down with a shot from any weapon. They have a
tendency to leave behind ammo and hand grenades once defeated. A cutscene will
take place the first time U-8 performs this move then the rest of the times
after that, he will simply move onto the high wall during normal gameplay.
6) Platform Shake - U-8 drives his front pinchers into the platform and shakes
it. This will jar the characters and stagger them for a few seconds. There is
no way to escape the staggering. Since you cannot escape it, why not take
advantage of this time when he will not attack and quickly open up the
inventory menu then reload your guns by combining the ammo with the weapon!
7) Grab and Crush - U-8 will lean back one of its pincher arms and attempt to
grab one of the characters in a slight cutscene. If the on-screen button
prompt command is not pressed then the character that is grabbed will die
automatically. The action button is always the button input command that
appears. He will automatically do this move right after a second grenade is
tossed into his mouth. If the characters are far enough away from the boss
then an input command will not appear since they are too far away and U-8
cannot grab them.
8) Hide - U-8 climbs down toward the walls below and disappears for a few
seconds. He fears that next hand grenade to the kisser.
9) Insect Stab - A flying insect that U-8 releases will fly right into a
character with its blade nose. This will instantly kill the insect enemy but
the character will receive a bit of damage.
--> HIS ATTACKS
U-8 will be attached to the wall throughout the battle and will move along the
sides of the platform that the characters are on. His main attacks are his
pincher swipe, blade snip and head ram. All of these can be dodged by moving
far away from him. The blade snip can also be dodged by pressing the run
button when the button input command appears on the screen. Later in the
battle, he will shake the platform but this will only stagger the characters.
He will eventually begin to perform an instant kill grab move. This move's
warning sign is showcased through a slight cutscene shortly before a button
prompt dodge command appears. Press the action button and the characters will
duck under his pincher. If the characters are far enough away from U-8 then
the cutscene will still play but U-8 will not be able to grab a character, so
the button prompt will not appear.
--> A BOSS THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO KEEP HIS MOUTH CLOSED
U-8 will only attack when his mouth is open, so while it is closed, there is no
need to worry about an attack. His mouth is his main weak point and hitting
him in the mouth with any type of gunfire will slowly damage him. Hitting him
in any portion of his damaged head once portions of carapace fall off will
damage him as well.
--> AIM FOR THE GRIPPING ARMS
In order to expose his major weak point to where the characters can hit him for
major damage, both characters need to aim for the red center portion of his
long arms that he uses to move along the wall of the room. He grips the side
walls with both of these arms. They can easily be damaged rather well with a
simple machine gun or handgun. You can also use bigger artillery such as a
shotgun or rifle but these two weapons are not really needed for this task.
Keep in mind that you do not have to be right up next to him in order to damage
his arms. One can simply move far away from him and shoot his arms with a
rifle or handgun and machine gun then rush into him while he is stunned
afterwards.
--> ONCE HIS MOUTH IS FULLY EXPOSED
After his gripping arms have sustained enough damage, U-8 will fall onto the
side of the platform and expose his mouth. A character with a hand grenade can
rush up to him at this point and receive a "Toss in" command. Press the action
button at that time and a cutscene will play where that character will toss a
hand grenade directly into U-8's mouth. The hand grenade will damage the front
portion of his carapace and after that explosion, and then the damaged area can
be hit at any time to damage him whether he opens his mouth or not. If you do
not have any hand grenades then check around the platform to find two.
He can also be damaged in the mouth with normal gunfire. Simply run up to his
mouth while he is stunned and blast him with continuous blast from a powerful
weapon such as the shotgun. All the damage adds up whether a hand grenade is
tossed into his mouth or he receives gunfire to his mouth. Once the shell is
fully damaged, the characters will have to blast U-8 in the mouth with gunfire
such as a shotgun to finish it off.
.-------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ---------------------------------.
| It is very possible to kill U-8 without a single grenade. A character can |
| rush up to his mouth while he is stunned and fire for a set amount of time |
| before he rises again and if this is continued then it will die without the |
| need to damage its carapace. This will really take longer however, but |
| it's still interesting to try. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> INSECT RELEASE
Eventually a slight cutscene will play as U-8 climbs up to the top of the wall.
He will release a group of insects that will attack the characters. The
insects can be easily defeated with any type of gunfire. It's really best to
use a machine gun since the insects can be hard to get precise aiming on with
any other type of weapon. They attack by stabbing with their blade nose. If
they attack then they will instantly die after the attack. These enemies will
drop ammo and hand grenades once they are defeated. The characters can get
quite an assortment of ammunition from these creatures.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| If you like to use invincibility frames to your advantage then stand near |
| near either the shotgun ammo or the hand grenade pickup on the far ends of |
| the platform then, right as U-8 attacks, pick up the item and his attack |
| will go right through your character if the item grab is timed well. |

Open the door ahead then move down the stairs off to the right. A slight
cutscene will play. Wow. Majini's got a gun! So run away. Run away from the
pain!
NEW ENEMY: Base Majini
Oh, that was terrible. Anyway, these new type of Majini now come armed with
guns and some of the Base Majini later in this chapter will carry stun rods and
heavy armor. Battles will now consist of taking cover to avoid gunfire. The
rifle has become an almost absolute necessity for his new form of Majini since
many of them will take cover and only move out a bit to fire at the characters.
.-------------------------------- EXTRA INFO ---------------------------------.
| Some Base Majini groups such as this one will randomly come equipped with |
| metal armor. For instance, a player might play a chapter segment one time |
| and not have to deal with any armored enemies, but if the player restarts |
| that same chapter then the Majini that didn't have armor before might have |
| some on their body. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
The Majini will notice the characters in a bit as they move down the stairs, so
you might as well take advantage of this free shot opportunity. Take out the
rifle and aim for the head of the Base Majini on the right side past the
doorway up ahead and wait for the one in the other back to bob in the back of
his head then shoot to hit them both. You might not kill the one in the back
but you'll damage him a bit.
The Majini will begin to take cover behind the door and that is your cue to
take cover as well. Run behind the crates up ahead then use the action button
prompt to take cover behind the crates when the action button "Take Cover"
command appears. Fire at the Majini with a handgun or rifle.
.------------------------------ SINGLE PLAYER TIP ----------------------------.
| While your main character is taking cover behind an object, issue the "Go" |
| command to have the AI partner move ahead. The partner can provide |
| distraction for the Majini allowing your character to more easily shoot the |
| Majini. The partner will also scout ahead for items. Issue the "Come on" |
| command to make your AI partner return to your character. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once the first three are defeated, run toward the doorway where they were then
quickly take cover behind the door. Two Majini will open the door to the north
and step into the room ahead. One of them has a stun rod, so quickly dispose
of him with gunfire before he moves too close to the doorway. Shoot the second
Majini whenever he pops up from cover in the back of the crates ahead.

A character can take cover behind the wall off to the left up ahead before
stepping into the room ahead. There is a Majini behind some metal crates in
the next room and one will move down the stairs and come after the characters
with his stun rod. If the characters step back into the corridor, the Majini
with the stun rod will eventually enter the corridor as well so the characters
can easily take him down with a handgun and melee attacks.
A player can shoot him in the leg and perform an instant kill melee from behind
to stop him from becoming a Cephalo (its scripted) or... go for a tag team!
Yes, even in single player mode. (Shot to arm for a stun, "Go" command, Hook,

Trophy/Achievement: The Works
Description: Chain the maximum number of combos together in one go.
Details: In single player mode, lure the Majini with the stun rod into the
narrow corridor. Let him move into the middle portion and keep shouting
continuous "Come on" commands to keep your AI partner from shooting. When he
gets close, quickly shout a single "Go" command and the AI partner will rush
behind him then shoot the Majini in the arm for an arm stun. Melee him toward
the AI partner and the AI partner will melee him back to your character and
your character will receive the special tag team command.
This has worked just about every time I have tried it in single player mode and
there is a checkpoint right at the beginning of this hallway, so quickly
restart your game through the pause menu if you miss. I always have my AI
partner equipped with a rifle as that character's stronger weapon to keep that
character from attacking very quick while that character is in attack ("Go")
mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| Instead of rushing for a cover wall up above the stairs, a character can |
| slowly creep up the stairs and shoot at the Majini in front of the metal |
| crates on the floor above. This will definitely make the make the next |
| part much easier, but this method may not always work. Afterwards a |
| character can shoot the explosive canisters from behind the two cover walls |
| with little threat from the middle area. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.------------------------------- MAJOR TIP -----------------------------------.
| If you move up the right set of stairs and stand about in the middle then |
| look through a sniper scope, you will be able to see one of the explosive |
| canisters on the far side of the top area. Shoot the explosive canister |
| and you'll defeat a good majority of the Majini on the other side, even |
| some of the ones with stun rods. You have to stand near the center of the |
| stairs (not near a railing) in the center from the top and bottom of the |
| staircase to see the explosive canister. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Run up either set of stairs then QUICKLY take cover behind one of the sidewalls
directly in front of either staircase. Two Majini will be firing machine guns
from the front of the set of two crates up ahead. Don't worry about them at
the moment since you're properly concealed behind the wall. Look to the
opposite railing next to their location and you'll see a group of Majini with
stun rods running down the catwalk. Once they step near the corner with the
explosive canister, quickly step out and fire at the explosive canister in that
corner. Sometimes is easier not to use the "Take Cover" command, but simply
take cover manually in order to get a more precise aim without a constant
change in viewpoint from stepping around the side of the wall. Now, focus fire
on the two Majini with machine guns.
Once the Majini with machine guns behind the boxes are finished, quickly run to
the opposite side of the wall in front of the opposite side staircase. If you
look toward the railing across from the middle boxes, another set of Majini
will run down that catwalk. Quickly step out and fire at the explosive
canister in the corner near them as they step around by it.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| The Majini with stun rods will not come after a character until a character |
| steps behind either of the cover areas in front of the two staircases and |
| they will always conveniently run out from the opposite side where the |
| player will have a perfect view of the explosive barrel. Keep this in mind |
| to easily take down these two annoying enemy waves quickly. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Now all the characters have to worry about are the Majini armed with machine
guns in the very back of the area. Heaven shines down upon thee friend,
because they are standing in front of explosive canister, so simply run toward
the middle set of crates by the railing up ahead then take cover and quickly
pop up in between the break in their gunfire and shoot the explosive canister
behind them.

Don't you just love entering a new area that is almost completely silent and
devoid of life where you know that all hell is going to break loose when a
certain point is reached or a certain action is done? I wonder if that will
happen here? Let's hope not.
To the left of the characters is a conveyor belt with explosive cylinders that
move toward a disposal furnace at the end of it. These can be shot and used to
your advantage just like other explosive barrels once the characters progress
further.
While we are standing here, look off the railing to the south and find the high
overhead walkway with the single explosive canister on it. Keep that walkway
and explosive canister in mind. Move along the current walkway to the right
and head west.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| Before falling down the ladder at the west end of the high walkway, look |

| falling. You DO NOT want to stay up on the walkway once the cutscene plays |
| however, or the characters will not have any cover from the rest of the |

A cutscene will play that will show tons of Majini run out from their hiding

side then that kill will help out a bunch. Stand behind one of the metal walls
on the characters' current side to have cover against the Majini gunfire on the
south side then shoot the approaching Majini. A character can run up and
perform a melee but it is a bit risky. Remember that a character is invincible
during the melee animation, just not directly afterward.

Take out the rifle here. It's best to use a rifle and not a handgun. Take
cover behind one of the metal wall pieces along the side of the conveyor belt.
Surely you've noticed all the annoying flash grenades here that have likely
blinded your vision at least once. A Majini on the raised platform in the
south is tossing flash grenades from the other side of the conveyor belt and
there is one clever little bastard in the west that is tossing them from a high
walkway with an explosive canister on it. If you remember earlier, I pointed
out that walkway with the explosive canister on it to you. Take out a handgun
and shoot the explosive canister on the overhead walkway to the east to remedy
one flash grenade problem.
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| A button prompt command will appear at each end of a metal wall, so that |
| your character can take cover behind each end. If a player stands in the |
| middle of a metal wall then that player will not get a button prompt |
| command. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
The characters will be forced to shoot at the Majini on the other side while
metal crates move down the middle conveyor belt. These metal crates can cause
some missed shot opportunities for both sides, so keep them in mind.
Alright Raiden, it's time to play sniper. Take cover behind a nearby metal
wall then look toward the raised platform in the south near the west wall.
Score a headshot on the Majini that tosses flash grenades from that platform.
For the rest of the Majini on the other side, simply wait for their gunfire to
end then step out and shoot. They're really not a problem after the characters
take down the flash grenade throwers.

Walk up the stairs to the west. The lever has no power to it at the moment, so
flipping it is useless. A character can step down onto the conveyor belt to
the left but a metal crate blocks the way around the east side of top of the
railing. The characters can't simply vault over the railing because there is
most likely some hidden plexiglass that separates the top portion from the
other side. Our characters are too smart to even attempt it because one of
them knows Wesker all too well.
Find the stairs to the north then walk up them. Another staircase will come
into view as the characters go further north, so take these stairs to the east.
The characters will be met with pulsating slimy eggs that hang from the ceiling
at the end of the walkway past the stairs. I wonder what secret surprise these
contain? Eh, it's nothing a little Haymaker to the face won't cure I'm sure.
Pick up the ++MACHINE GUN AMMO (+30)++ on the metal crate near the railing
along the other side. Move along the walkway on the opposite side the run up
the stairs. Chris will comment on the missiles along the top walkway.

-- CHECKPOINT
Now all we have to do is go back through the area with creepy pulsating eggs
and... the second the characters step out of the shaft, the sound of something
breaking out of a hard shell along with a scream followed by the clambering of
little legs can be heard in the distance. The music will suddenly get moody
much like a REmake Aqua Ring sort of tone. Well, let's go back to the area
with the pulsating eggs and see what all the commotion is about.
.---------------------------------- EXTRA ------------------------------------.
| If you arm the rifle and inch toward the edge of the shaft then quickly |
| look through the scope while facing the southeast the moment the sound is |
| heard you can see the pulsating egg open as a creature falls out. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once the characters reach the egg area, look up to see that one of the eggs on
the ceiling appears to have hatched. Arm that a grenade launcher with acid
rounds or flash rounds or equip the SIG 556 machine gun right now and it sure
wouldn't hurt to have some machine gun ammo with it as well. When the
characters try to move back toward the stairs in the west a new enemy will fall
from the ceiling above. It that a Brain Deimos? A Chimera? No, it is a...
NEW ENEMY: Reaper
Attacks:
Grab and Impale: The Reaper reaches forward with all of its appendages to grab
a character. If it manages to grab a character then it will stab the character
from the sides for an instant kill. (NOTE: it must have all appendages in order
to perform this move, including its head)
Slice: The Reaper slices forward with one its top appendages.
Stab: Shortly before it recovers from a major weak point stun, the Reaper stabs
forward with its bottom appendages.
Gas Vapor: While walking, the Reaper sprays out a vapor that slightly blocks
the victim's vision of the Reaper's actions.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| To avoid being right in the Reaper's face when it falls, inch forward while |
| on the walkway where it drops until it eventually falls and you'll be far |
| away from it when it lands. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Well, even though I said some Haymaker might cure this problem, you certainly
don't want to get close to this bad boy. This enemy is known as a Reaper and
it can really be problem if you don't know how to deal with it. It has an
instant kill grab from close range, so don't ever get close to these things
unless they are stunned or missing an appendage.
There are a few ways to hit this creature. The most obvious is the glowing
white circular area on its stomach that opens up periodically while it moves
and the second is the glowing white sections that stick out of its back that
are visible whenever it dashes toward a character. While playing online, two
players can surround a Reaper and one can hit it in its back portion to stun
it.
When hit in the circular area on its stomach, the creature will kneel down and
showcase one of the circular sections of its back. Blast that back section and
it will lean over again and expose its other back section. Hit the second back
section and its body will lean backward so that it showcases its chest weak
point. At that time, blast it in the weak point. The SIG 556 will do just
fine for hitting all weak points. You could also bring out the shotgun for its
major weak point also. It can still hit your characters with its blade arms
while its major weakness is exposed but it can't grab them at that time.
Once it recovers you'd better haul ass away from it again and allow it to
showcase one its weak points then blast it. Shooting it in a back weak point
from the get go will make it to where a character will only have to shoot one
more back section as it leans over then it will showcase its major weak point
after one crouch.
A Reaper's appendages can be totally dismantled. It's arm appendages can all
be shot off and its head can be shot off also. These all reform in a few
seconds but this will damage it. The most useful part about cutting off its
appendages is that it cannot perform its instant kill grab without all of its
appendages. Even when it is missing a head appendage, it cannot perform its
instant kill grab. A machine gun works extremely well at tearing it apart.
This enemy is very dangerous even when you know how to deal with it. It takes
practice, precise aiming, and plenty of room to back up in order to take one
down effectively. The machine gun is really the absolute best weapon to hit it
with when it showcases its weak points since you'll dish out multiple shots
that will ensure you hit each weak point that it showcases. The shotgun works
well also and the shotgun will damage it faster. If you have good enough aim
with a magnum, this enemy can be take down by blasting each weak point as it
showcases them and by the time it shows its major weak point, the creature will
be close to death or might actually die before showing its main weak point.
A player can also damage a Reaper through a proximity bomb and hand grenade
explosion. These explosions will make a Reaper roll on the ground once the
explosion goes off near it. This will damage it, but the explosion will NOT
stun the Reaper, so it will be headed right back toward a character directly
after rolling.
One way to avoid the frustration of hitting his weak points is to equip a
grenade launcher with acid or flash rounds then shoot the Reaper twice with
either ammo. No matter where the Reaper is hit, it will bend over from the
first shot then bend backward to reveal its chest weak point for the second
shot. It can easily be finished off with powerful weapon to the chest weak
point at that time with little hassle.
It will leave behind a ++POWER STONE++ after being defeated. *snickers* Ah,
you gotta' love the classic Capcom game references in some of their titles.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| A player can lead the Reaper all the way back to the lever near the |
| conveyor belt then pull the lever and lead the Reaper onto the conveyor |
| belt. Move past the railing along the side and move around it. The Reaper |
| will usually not move fast enough to keep up with the players and it will |
| get killed by the furnace at the end of the conveyor belt. The players |
| will not be able to collect its treasure by doing this however and it is |
| really more trouble than its worth if you ask me. It's kind of funny |
| though! Add in some taunts while it struggles to make it more hilarious. |

Get back to the area with the lever in the south. Pull the lever to activate
the nearby conveyor belt. Step onto the conveyor belt to the side while it
moves. The characters are supposed to move to the east and go around the
railing, but with enough determination and speed, a character can actually run
to the west on the first conveyor belt and make it to the opening in the
railing just before the metal crates move past it.
Otherwise, move to the east and step around the railing. The "discarded test
subjects" along the conveyor belt will actually lash out at times and grab the
characters. The grabbed player will have to shake the left thumbstick to break
free or a partner will have to knock the test subject off the grabbed character
with a partner action command. In single player, be sure to press the assist
button after being grabbed to make the AI partner knock the test subject off
your character. It is possible to weave in between the test subjects and avoid
their grab but they will most likely lash out and grab a few times.
Check near the test subjects along far left and middle conveyor belts and
you'll find two ++DEAD BRIDE'S NECKLACE++ treasures. If you don't find two by
the time your character reaches the end of the conveyor belt then rush back to
the east and wait for more test subjects to come your way from the left and
middle conveyor belts then check them for this treasure.

UROBOROS MKONO
--------------
HP: 9,000 (3,000 HP for each tentacle weak point)
Recommended - Grenade Launcher w/Flame Rounds (for quick stuns and severe
Weapon(s): damage to a weak point)
- Incendiary Grenades (for a quick stun)
- Flamethrower (available in the area - burns for a prolonged
stun)
- Shotgun (to hit Uroboros' weak points)
- Handgun or Machine gun (for blasting a canister quickly)
Weak Points: - Orange glowing center of each arm (destroys arms and damages
Uroboros)
- Orange glowing portion of three appendages (main weak points
[emerges when flamed badly])
Attacks:
1) Right Arm Swing - Uroboros swings his right arm across the area in front of
him. This attack is mid and close range.
2) Turning Swing - While a character is behind him, Uroboros will swing at the
character with his arm while turning. This attack is very rare, much like
the Executioner Majini's turning swing.
3) Grab and Absorb - Uroboros reaches forward and grabs with both arms. The
partner must save the grabbed character with a partner assist melee or
the grabbed player must shake the left thumbstick to escape. The boss will
eventually let go after a while. He stretches his arms out almost as far as
he swings his arm for the other attack.
4) Arm Extend Grab - From long range, Uroboros will lash out its right arm
directly forward to grab. This attack can be performed when the boss
has only its right arm and it can be escaped by shaking the thumbstick or
through a partner assist melee.
5) Direct Contact - Any type of direct contact with this boss for a slightly
extended period of about 5 seconds will result in your character getting hit
and covered in a black leech-like substance. The character will hold
his/her body as if in caution status until the substance eventually
disappears. The substance drains your character's health much like a poison
for the first seconds that it remains on the character. The substance will
not force a weak character into Dying status.
6) Dissolve - Uroboros can teleport from one area to another by simply
dissolving into the floor and reforming at some other part of the room. He
does this a lot more than the first Uroboros. He uses this to retreat when
he is being damaged real heavily or when he loses an arm. He performs this
move randomly at times also, as if Chris suddenly gave him a smug look.
7) Floor Arm Extend - Uroboros places his right arm on the ground then detaches
the arm as it moves toward a character. The arm will quickly reform. This
move can be dodged by pressing the on-screen button prompt command that
appears. If the attack connects then the arm will surround the character
and a black leech-like substance will remain on the character's body for a
few seconds. The substance slowly drains life while it remains; the
substance will not force a weak character into Dying status.
8) Counter Slap - In retaliation from getting burned with the flamethrower,
Uroboros will duck down then eventually swing its left arm forward. This is
an easy move to see coming since he will duck down while being burned and
that should be your cue to back up or get slapped with his wide left arm.
Oh, ho, ho... if you think this Uroboros fight is going to be like the last
battle then you're completely mistaken. This boss might actually be the reason
why you are reading this walkthrough.
--> A FAMILIAR FOE
This Uroboros has much the same attacks as the first Uroboros that was fought
back in chapter 1-2. He only has a few new tricks up his sleeve. His main new
attack that you'll notice is a floor arm extend that he will perform with his
right arm. He will place his arm on the floor and send it toward a character
then it will detach and try to grab the character. A button prompt command
will appear in order to dodge this attack before it hits a character or the
character could run to a side to avoid it.
He also has a new counter attack that he will perform while being burned. He
will crouch down and charge a slap then swipe the area in front of him with an
arm. It is best to begin to move back whenever you see him duck after being
flamed. He performs this move constantly while using the flamethrower to burn
him since the flamethrower takes so long to stun him.
The main thing that you will notice with this Uroboros in contrast to the first
Uroboros is that this Uroboros is much more aggressive. He wants to hurt the
characters bad. This man must have been locked away with N'sync's "Bye, Bye,
Bye!" tune set to full blast for far too long before he was injected with the
Uroboros virus.
--> DOES HE HAVE A WEAKNESS?
The hardest part in dealing with this boss is realizing how to actually damage
him. Much like the first Uroboros fight, the center glowing portion of his
arms can be damaged to knock them off. Believe it or not this actually damages
the boss since I have killed him by simply knocking off an arm. If you try to
knock off his arms then a shotgun or powerful machine gun is highly
recommended.
The boss has to burned through a variety of ways in order to make it showcase
its weak points. It's main weak points are exposed when it falls over; three
appendages with orange glowing ends move out of the top portion of its body
while it is stunned. The orange portion of the each of the three glowing
appendages can be hit with gunfire at that time to damage the boss badly.
The main problem in damaging his weak point is how quickly he hides them after
they are exposed. He will usually draw them back inside of him in about 5
seconds after they are showcased, not giving the characters much time to react,
so you always want to be ready to fill the top portion of his appendages full
of lead or flames when he exposes his weak points. The only way to make him
expose his weak points for an extended period is to flame him with the
flamethrower; any other type of stun is only a minimal stun.
The following paragraphs discuss methods on how to burn him to make him expose
his weak points.
--> 3 EXPLOSVE CANISTERS
There are three explosive canisters that can be used to the characters'
advantage during this battle:
- Lying against a middle pillar across from the north walkway.
- Down the center grated walkway along the middle pillar.
- On the south wall to the right of a closed door.
Approach each one and press the action button when the "Knock Over" command
displays just like in the first Uroboros battle. The Uroboros will get the
canister stuck up in its body and will drag the canister along with it. Aim
for the canister and shoot it to instantly stun the boss and make it showcase
its weak points.
He can hit a character while the character knocks over a canister, so make sure
that he is at a distance before the startup animation for knocking one over.
The canister explosion will only stun Uroboros for a short amount of time, so
get in your hits with gunfire on his weak points very quickly!
--> THE FLAMETHROWER
A Flamethrower sits in a charging cradle on the center of the east wall. It
will start charging with fuel at the beginning of the battle and will be
completely fueled once the battle has progressed for exactly 30 seconds.
Collect and equip the flamethrower by standing near it and pressing the action
button to pick it up. The flamethrower can be dropped at any time by equipping
any other weapon, event the knife. It can be picked back up by pressing the
action button over it. To make the AI partner pick up the flamethrower, press
the assist button while standing near it in its charging cradle or while
standing over it once it has been dropped. The AI partner must be nearby of
course. Press the assist button again to make the AI partner drop the
flamethrower.
The flamethrower's remaining fuel is showcased on the bottom right hand portion
of the screen much like any weapon. It always starts at 100 fuel after a full
charge. Once all fuel is gone, it must be returned to the charging cradle on
the east wall so it may recharge again after another 30 seconds. It can also
be returned to its charging cradle early.
Step near Uroboros and flame his body. This will cause his body to catch on
fire and it will slowly begin to eat away at his body and make him fall and
expose his weak points. The weak points can be burned with the flamethrower or
they can be shot with any type of weapon.
Flaming him with the flamethrower is a very slow way to stun him BUT it will
make it to where his glowing weak point appendages are exposed for a longer
period of time while he is stunned. There is an even tradeoff here in that
regard.
Exclusive to a flamethrower burning, the character will also have to watch out
for a counter slap while flaming him. Whenever he suddenly kneels down during
a flaming, be sure so back off instantly since he will slap the area in front
of him with his left arm.
On Veteran mode, it is best to allow the AI partner to take the flamethrower
while your main character focuses on destroying Uroboros' arms. The AI partner
will automatically return the flamethrower to its charging cradle once it is
out of fuel. On Normal mode, the main character shouldn't really have much of
a problem with flaming Uroboros with the flamethrower. If the AI partner is
commanded to grab the flamethrower on Normal mode then you'll need to destroy
the Uroboros' arms to protect that character since the AI will not back up to
avoid its attacks.
--> FLAME ROUNDS AND INCENDIARY GRENADES
Both flame rounds from the grenade launcher and incendiary grenades can be used
to burn Uroboros and make it showcase its weak points. Both of these weapons
will instantly stun Uroboros. With good aim, a flame round that hits a weak
point appendage will take major damage from Uroboros. The only bad part about
using these methods to stun him is that he will not expose his tentacle weak
point appendages for that long at all. He will only showcase them for a few
seconds, much shorter than a flamethrower burn stun.
.-------------------------------- MAJOR TIP ----------------------------------.
| As I said above, flame rounds from the grenade launcher will take some |
| extreme damage from Uroboros' tentacle weak points. A character can simply |
| stand in front of him and shoot him with a flame round to stun him then |
| blast his tentacle weak points. If a character brings enough flame rounds |
| (around two sets) to this battle, then Uroboros can be taken down rather |
| quickly with just flame rounds alone. Simply stun him with a flame round, |
| blast the tentacles, stun him with a flame round, blast the tentacles and |
| so on. Be sure to time the stunning shot to when he is fully recovered - |
| basically right before he attacks after recovering. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> ABOUT THOSE ARMS OF HIS
Even though it is going to take more firepower on the characters' behalf, it is
really best to knock off his arms with gunfire. His big left arm is his main
attacking arm so destroying it for a bit will make him less aggressive.
Destroying both arms will severely limit his attacks for a while. He will
eventually grow both arms back, but this can help out a lot for setting him up
for a burning with the flamethrower.
On Veteran mode, destroying his arms becomes an absolute necessity since he
becomes incredibly aggressive on higher difficulties. He can't do much of
anything without his arms. Be sure to destroy his arms before or while he is
being flamed. A character that flames him alone on Veteran will suffer damage
from his aggressive arm swings.
--> DOES HE FREAKING DIE? EVER!?
Yes, he does. With both characters constantly laying on gunfire through his
arms and inner appendage weak points, a cutscene will suddenly play and he will
be defeated. The main weak point appendages will be destroyed as he is
damaged, so count the number of appendages that he has left to determine his
remaining health. I'm sure it is hard to understand on your first playthrough
(based on how long it took me the first time) but he will fall with enough
firepower to a glowing appendage area of his body (arms or tentacle weak
points). Like I said earlier, a flame round shot directly at a tentacle
appendage weak point will severely damage him.

You did bring a rifle, right? I sure hope so because a rifle is definitely
needed here.
At the end of the corridor ahead, turn to the right and break the --TALL

fence blocks the east hall, so open the nearby door and step outside.

Return to the outside walkway. Now, let's step under the pulsating Reaper eggs
just waiting to hatch at any second. They won't will they? Not... now. Read
the extra info below about the random Reaper occurrences in this area.
.---------------------------------- EXTRA INFO -------------------------------.
| There is a possibility that the characters will fight a total of three |
| Reapers along this high walkway. There are three possible locations for a |
| Reaper encounter. They all spawn from ceiling eggs. One is above the |
| ceiling above the first cover point labeled below, another is down the |
| corridor portion of the walkway with walls along the sides and the other is |
| right outside the door that leads to the room where the characters can pick |
| up the PSG-1 rifle. All of these are random and based on chance, but |
| usually the characters will have to fight the Reaper down the corridor with |
| walls and the Reaper outside the room where the PSG-1 rifle is collected. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Move further along the walkway as it curves to the south. A Reaper might hatch
from the egg above the first cover point labeled below. If it does then take
out the grenade launcher with acid rounds or flash rounds and shoot it twice
then take out the magnum or shotgun and fire at its white chest weak point to
quickly get rid of it. Lead it back toward the other side of the walkway if
needed.
The electric rounds that were just picked up earlier will work well at stunning
a Reaper also, but only the first shot will phase it. Any more electric rounds
shots after the first stunning shot will not stun it any further, so the
characters will have to resort to hitting its shoulder weak points like normal.
Still, the electric rounds work better than aiming for its stomach weak point
while it walks. The Reaper will drop a ++POWER STONE++ once defeated.

Continue to the south and step toward the middle shaft area. Move toward the
door on the east wall. Another pesky Reaper might fall out of the egg right in
front of the door so arm the grenade launcher and get to work on stunning him
with acid or flash rounds then give him a little shotgun or magnum love to the
center weak spot. This Reaper likes to wait until the lead character is almost
directly under the egg, so prepare to back up quickly. These enemies are not
that bad at all once a player has had some practice with them. The instant
kill grab will always make the battle with them slightly tense though. This
Reaper will leave behind yet another ++POWER STONE++.

Step back out of the room and walk toward the lever for the lift outside by the

armed with grenades will get on the lift as it moves toward the current side.
Quickly take cover behind the metal wall to the right of the nearby lever and
fire at the two side Majini's grenade straps to quickly kill them off with an

If you're playing with an AI partner then the AI partner will get on the lift
and ask your character to start the lift. Not so fast my little partner that
is prone to dying status! It is far better if your main character gets on the
elevator since enemies will attack on the other side. Step near the lever that
controls the lift and use the partner assist button to command your partner to
work it. For the portion below, Partner 1 is the character that gets on the
elevator and partner 2 is the character that activates the lift via the lever.
Partner 1 should equip a rifle while getting on the elevator.

A Majini with a machine gun will shoot from the walkway to the west while the

for him then shoot him. You really don't even have to worry about using the
cover wall when the character gets to the other side. Just shoot him from the
lift when he starts to fire.

Whenever both character move along the walkway to the east, three Majini armed

office during a slight cutscene. This part right here can get ugly if your
characters use the cover prompts while behind the walls. Sticking to a wall
will make it to where a rocket blast might hit your character. A rocket blast
will instantly send a character into dying status so both characters should
always be ready to heal one another.

Step onto the center platform from the stairs. Look off to the east while on

the high platform up above. Look through the metal grating of
the high platform floor to see this BSAA emblem through the

handgun can shoot it, or just use a rifle.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Find the green monitor with the two levers below it on the west side of the
platform then both characters should use the assist button to pull the levers.
This will start the platform's ascent to the floor above.
Three Majini with machine guns will rush out from the catwalk to the west that
the characters just got off of and start to fire at the character. Either
shoot back at them with a rifle or get behind the center portion of the
platform to avoid their gunfire as the lift rises. They really won't be much
of a threat so killing them is unneeded.
.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| If you're ever under heavy fire then simply run along the platform. The |
| Majini with guns cannot hit a character if that character stays moving. |
| Stepping behind the opposite side of the middle portion of the platform can |
| help as well. As the platform continues to rise, stay away from the sides |
| since a few Majini that the characters might not have shot will still be |
| trying to hit the characters. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> FIRST LEVER HOLDER
Eventually a cutscene will play where a Majini on a side platform will rush out
and pull then hold a lever. Two Majini with machine guns will accompany him on
the same platform. The platform in question is to the east. Run to the east
side and fire at the Majini that is holding the lever. Shoot him with a rifle.
The speed of the platform rotation will likely throw off your aim quite a bit.
I find it best to find his location then move the scope to the left of him and
allow the platform's rotation to bring my scope back toward him then fire the
instant the scope lines up with him. One shot will kill him. A Majini on a
high north platform will fire down at the characters during this time as well -
don't worry too much about him though.
--> SECOND LEVER HOLDER
After the Majini that is holding the lever has been defeated, the platform will
starts its ascent once again. Soon a Majini will rush out onto a lower west
platform and hold a lever that will stop the lift once again. Aim toward him
and shoot him to make the lift continue its ascent. Three Majini on a north
platform will fire at the characters while they try to hit the second Majini
that pulls the lever. It's best not to focus on them though since the lift
will continue to rise once the Majini that holds the second lever has been
defeated.
--> THE TOP CATWALK
The platform will move up to a catwalk staircase then stop; the catwalk is to
the east. Majini with machine guns will group up along the stairs. Don't
simply rush up the stairs and start firing at the Majini armed with machine
guns or the characters will get their asses handed to them with gunfire,
instead, rush behind the opposite end of the middle section of the platform to
take cover from their gunfire.
Move out a bit then begin to shoot them one by one with a rifle. There are
five of them altogether; the final one is along the catwalk above the stairs.
As long as the characters take cover behind the center section of the platform
then the Majini with machine guns will not be a problem.
Run up the stairs once all the Majini have been defeated then move across the
top catwalk. At the end of the corridor, both characters can use the assist
button to open the door to the next area.

all of this and you will not have any problems:
- 5 Proximity Bombs
- Grenade Launcher (doesn't have to be loaded, though about two acid rounds
would help)
- Magnum
- 5 Hand Grenades
This area can be one of the hardest portions of the game if you're not
prepared. If you are prepared though then you'll be able to tear right through
it!
Follow the corridor ahead and move down the ladder then the characters will
enter a cave up ahead. Right before reaching the first lit up overhead light,

Break the two --TALL CRATES-- outside the building then move around to the

It's best if you command your partner to pull the lever to bring down the

goes up there should bring the following:

Partner 1 should get on the elevator and allow Partner 2 to pull the lever to
raise the elevator. Leap over the elevator railing and step onto the high
catwalk. Move to the north along the catwalk.
Soon a cutscene will play as a few Licker Beats crawl out of some holes in the
ground. They will climb over the fence ahead. Two Licker Betas will appear on
the catwalk ahead. The character could toss a hand grenade at them to possibly
kill one or both; they won't notice the character at first. Otherwise arm a
grenade launcher with acid rounds or a shotgun or magnum then defeat the two
Licker Betas that appear along the walkway ahead. Run up and stab them when
they fall on their back and kick their legs. On normal mode, one acid round
shot will automatically knock them on their backs to where they can be finished
off with a stab. The second Licker Beta will leave behind a ++LION HEART++
treasure.

runs along the walkway to the north. Run directly ahead and break the --TALL

Load the acid rounds into the grenade launcher. Quickly move to the east along
the walkway. Shoot any Licker Betas that get in your way with an acid round to
knock it down or stagger it then run by it. Break the next --TALL CRATE--

Quickly move onto the southeast catwalk then plant a proximity bomb at the
beginning of that walkway. Move forward a bit then plant another proximity
bomb shortly before reaching the large blue crate at the end of the walkway.
The character must push the crate to the far end of the walkway. The proximity
bombs placed will begin to go off eventually as Licker Betas move over them and
explode. From here, Partner 1 can back up just a bit every now and then and
place another proximity bomb or turn around and toss a hand grenade at the
crowd of Licker Betas that will mount up on the other end of the catwalk.
Acid rounds can be fired at them from a distance if all the Hand Grenade are
used up but don't rush toward the entire group to stab one. Place a proximity
bomb in front of a group of Licker Betas even when right next to one if all
else fails. Your character might get hit, but you'll take a few of them with
that explosion. Keep in mind that the Licker Betas might jump off the catwalk
and attack Partner 2 below. If this happens try to help out Partner 2 with
some gunfire.

Partner 2 can only provide a bit of cover fire for Partner 1 while a rifle is
equipped. The best cover fire that can be provided is when Partner 1 has to
fight the first two Licker Betas. Partner 2 can help to bring down the Licker
Beta horde as well while using a rifle. Keep in mind that the Lickers can drop
off the high catwalk at any time to attack Partner 2.

JILL AND WESKER
---------------
HP: 5,000 (Jill)
HP: 30,000 (Wesker)
Recommended - Rocket Launcher (quickest way to defeat Wesker from
Weapon(s): behind)
- Handgun (to shoot rocket once Wesker catches it)
- Magnum (to stun Wesker from behind (L. Hawk Magnum can
be found during battle)
Weak Points: - Wesker's front or back when he has lost sight of a character (he
can be hit while he's trying to find a character)
- Jill's front or back (Jill can be gotten into a hold or thrown
to knock her out from the back or front respectively)
Wesker's Attacks:
1) Sweep: Wesker ducks down and performs a sweep kick with his right leg.
2) Mustang Kick - Wesker steps forward with a straight kick.
3) Jump Kick - Wesker hops into the air and kicks with his right foot.
4) Windfall - Wesker quickly holds up his right leg then slams it down in front
of him.
5) Flip Kick - Wesker performs two somersault kicks in a row after he has
dodged gunfire a few times. These flip kicks are more than just for dodging
since they can hit your character if Wesker manages to make contact.
6) Ram - Wesker dashes forward (sometimes twice in a row, depending on your
distance from him). If this connects then Wesker performs a knee to the
chest followed by an uppercut with his left arm. This can be countered when
the "Counterattack" button prompt command (button is random between action
and run) appears shortly before Wesker hits a character. Chris holds up his
arms to block the knee then punches Wesker down to the ground. Sheva flips
around to the other side of Wesker then performs an upward kick to knock
Wesker down.
7) Samurai Edge Shot - Wesker pulls out his handgun and fires a few shots. He
can fire up to three shots at a time. The shots can be dodged by pressing
the action button when the "Dodge" button prompt command appears.
8) Grab - Wesker reaches out and grabs the character then holds the character
by the shoulder. The character will begin to hit at Wesker's face; at that
time a partner assist melee can be performed by the partner to knock Wesker
off. A button prompt "Counterattack" command will appear at the end of the
grab if a partner fails to save the character. If the counterattack command
is entered successfully, Chris will slowly unsheathe his machete then
suddenly slash at Wesker's face but Wesker will quickly dodge out of the
way. Sheva will perform the same type of counter but she reaches for the
knife which is on a lower section of her body. If the player fails to press
the button then Wesker will toss the character behind him.
Jill's Attacks:
1) Machine Gun Fire: Jill stands in place and fires a machine gun.
2) Jumping Flip Kick: Jill leaps into the air and performs a quick somersault
followed by an overhead kick. The character that is targeted will get a
special "Dodge" button prompt command in order to escape from the attack.
The character will roll out of the way.
--> LONG TIME NO SEE, CHRIS.
Wesker will mention a seven minute time limit for this battle at the start of
the battle. There are two ways to win this battle:
a) Survive until the seven minutes are up by hiding from Wesker and allow
Wesker to retreat.
b) Hide in the various area of the room and damage Wesker when he lowers his
guard. Damage him enough and he will instantly retreat.
The beginning portion of the battle has Chris and Sheva fighting against Jill
and Wesker in the middle room. Wesker will dodge just about any gunfire that
is shot toward him and a player doesn't want to hurt Jill; if Jill dies then
the game is over. There is really not too much that Chris and Sheva can do in
the middle room except stun Jill through a button prompt melee attack from
close range and possibly hit Wesker through a move counter (see "Knocking
Wesker Out of His Melee Attacks). When stunning Jill, approach her from the
front or back for a "Restrain" of "Throw" command with either character. The
"Throw" is an instant stun and the "Restrain" will make it so that your partner
can run in front of Jill and perform a stunning melee attack with the "Throw"
button command.
Eventually a cutscene will play where Wesker will kick Chris (or Sheva if
you're playing with her) through the metal door on the east side of the room.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| If the metal door on the east side of room is examined early in the battle, |
| like right at the beginning, then the cutscene where Wesker kicks a |
| character through the door will play and the battle can carry on to the |
| second floor without having to waste time in the middle room. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> DEALING WITH JILL (MAKING JILL SEE STARS)
Jill's machine gun fire from out in the open can be very damaging if your
character stands still. She will often dodge the second a laser pointer from a
gun makes contact with her.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| In co-op play and even on single player, a character can circle Jill while |
| next to her in order to make her constantly turn and raise her machine gun. |
| She will not be able to fire because she has to constantly turn a different |
| direction and adjust her aim. This is especially good to use on higher |
| difficulties. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Neither character should damage Jill with any type of gunfire or weapon attack
during the battle since she can actually be killed, ending the battle early
with a game over. She will actually begin to show signs of damage much like
the main characters by holding her side when she is weak due to being hit with
a weapon.
Throughout the fight with Wesker and Jill, one player can get behind Jill and
restrain her with a "Restrain" button prompt command from close range while the
other player moves in for a follow-up melee attack.
Chris = Throw (from Sheva restrain)
Sheva = Throw (from Chris restrain)
Jill can also be approached from the front at any time during the battle to
sometimes receive the commands listed above. Both ways of performing the
command will instantly knock her out for a few seconds allowing the characters
more time to deal with Wesker alone.
If Jill manages to escape from a restrain then the restraining character will
have to input a button prompt "Dodge" command in order to dodge her counter
punch. The character will roll out of the way.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Anytime that a partner is seen restraining Jill during the Jill and Wesker |
| battle, approach Jill from the front side for a melee command. The melee |
| attack that is performed will stun Jill. The AI partner will be constantly |
| trying to restrain Jill in a single player game. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> DEALING WITH WESKER
Trying to hit Wesker normally is pretty much useless, though not impossible
(see next section). Most of the time, he will simply dash to a side extremely
quick as your gunshot flies right by him. Be sure to press the action button
during the "Dodge" button prompt command or quickly run to the side in order to
dodge Wesker's handgun fire since it is extremely damaging per shot!
A character must hide from Wesker and Wesker must not know that the character
is near him in order for a character to sneak in a gun attack. This can be
done by simply leaving him and stepping behind a wall or entering a room. You
need to watch his location on the mini-map. If he stops then he is most likely
looking around for a character, so you don't want to step into view unless
you've got a good viewpoint of him and he has his backed turned. If he is
moving in one direction then he will have his back in the opposite direction.
A player can take cover behind a variety of different walls on the second floor
to hide from Wesker. The northwest area (the room and nearby halls) is the
easiest portion of the area where one can hide from Wesker. Your character can
easily step in and out of the northwest and room and run back and forth down
the corridor while Wesker is in one location in order to get the drop on him.
Even if he discovers your character, you can easily lose him fast.
A partner can also help out in catching Wesker's attention. When Wesker spots
a partner, the other player can sneak up on Wesker and hit him from the back
with gunfire. Just because he sees one character doesn't mean that he has
noticed the other.
When Wesker has lost sight of your character, he will begin to look around and
mention phrases such as:
"You can't hide forever!"
"You're merely postponing the inevitable."
"There's no point in hiding.
"I tire of wasting my time with you."
"You disappoint me. Is that the best you've got?"
Once he turns his back when he has lost sight of a character, that character
can hit him in the back a few times with any weapon. The magnum is the best
weapon to hit him with if you want to stagger him quickly. The ++L. HAWK++
magnum weapon can be obtained by having both characters push open the coffin in
the northwest room.
Once Wesker is in a staggering pose where he leans backward, a character can
run up to him a trigger a special timed button press melee combination on him
all starting through a single button prompt command from close range.
CHRIS MELEE COMBO
Commands = Left Hook - Right Hook - Body Blow - Heavy Blow - Finishing Combo
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| BUTTONS | Action | Action | Assist | Run | Action + Run |
| PS3 | [] | [] | O | X | [] + X |
| X360 | X | X | B | A | X + A |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* The "Left Hook" command starts the combination and the rest of the commands
are timed presses.
SHEVA MELEE COMBO
Commands = Reverse - High Kick - Front - Knee - Double Heel
Kick Kick Strike Hop
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| BUTTONS | Action | Action | Assist | Run | Action + Run |
| PS3 | [] | [] | O | X | [] + X |
| X360 | X | X | B | A | X + A |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* The "Reverse Kick" command starts the combination and the rest of the
commands are timed presses.
Once Wesker has found a character, he will mention one of the following
phrases:
"Ah, there you are!"
"Found you!"
Once Wesker has caught sight of a character, he will chase after that
character, so the targeted character will need to quickly run down a corridor
or step into the northwest room and keep away from him until Wesker has lost
sight of the character again. Once again, keep in mind that just because he
sees one character, doesn't mean that he has seen both.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| While Wesker searches around the hallways of the second floor, a character |
| can stand on the outside walkway and shoot him through the windows; move up |
| the staircase on the first floor then look through the windows. The |
| interesting part about doing this is that Wesker will see the character but |
| will almost instantly lose sight of the character after passing by the wall |
| near the window, so the other player could stand at a corner near Wesker |
| and allow the outside player to shoot him and stun him completely to set |
| him up for a melee combo from the other player. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> KNOCKING WESKER OUT OF HIS MELEE ATTACKS
This is more of a last resort for when the seven minutes are almost up rather
than a tactic for the entire battle since it leaves your character wide open to
Wesker's attacks, but Wesker can be knocked out of a kick melee attack by
aiming at him and firing shortly before the attack hits your character. The
shotgun works the best because of its spread. Aim downward just in case he
sweeps.
.---------------------------------- EXTRA ------------------------------------.
| Wesker's sunglasses can be knocked off if he is hit in the face with a |
| gunshot. The easiest way to do this is to shoot him out of a melee attack |
| or shoot him from the other side of a window. He will put the sunglasses |
| back on after a few seconds if he is not engaged in combat. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Knocking him out of a melee attack can stun him and set him up for a follow-up
melee attack from your character. Chris can sometimes Uppercut, Straight
Punch, or Hook Wesker after knocking him out of a melee attack. Wesker will
sometimes block the follow-up melee however. Hitting him out of a melee attack
will damage him just like if a character hit from the back without being
noticed and these frontal hits will sometimes stun him to where a character can
perform the full melee combination of attacks.
Hitting him before his attack will count as the first hit toward stunning him
for a melee combo also, so your character could shoot him out of a kick attack
with a magnum then shoot him again and stun him. This will set him up for the
melee combo mentioned above. Shooting him out of one of his attacks is still
very risky, but it's fun to try when you know the timing for hitting him.
--> THE ROCKET LAUNCHER
If a player brings a rocket launcher to this battle then the fight with Wesker
can be ended very early. Hide from Wesker then wait for him to turn his back.
Fire a rocket at him when he turns and he will grab the rocket. Shoot the
rocket while he holds it and the resulting explosion will stun him and he will
leave directly after the stun. This is an easy way to get the Bad Blood
trophy/achievement.
NOTE: If Wesker leaves the battle early from suffering too much damage, the
cutscene afterwards remains the same as if the characters allowed him to end
the battle himself. The only difference in making him leave early is that
Wesker will simply end the battle early by rushing toward the middle room.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT ALERT _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Trophy/Achievement: Bad Blood
Description: During the first fight with Wesker, damage him a set number of
times.
Details: Wesker must be hit enough times during the Jill and Wesker battle so
that he leaves the battle before the time limit. This can be done by hitting
him with a magnum while he is not looking then running toward him to perform a
melee combo while he is stunned. The melee combo will heavily damage Wesker.
It is best to hit him twice with a magnum before attempting to run toward him
for the command. Two quick shots will usually stun him for a few seconds.
An extremely easy way to get this trophy/achievement is to bring a rocket
launcher to the battle then fire a rocket at Wesker from the back when he is
unaware of your presence. He will grab the rocket. Shoot the rocket with any
weapon to heavily damage him and he will leave the battle instantly.
Before he leaves, he will kneel down for a few seconds then raise back up and
suddenly make a quick dash toward the top portion of the middle room.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
.---------------------------------- EXTRA ------------------------------------.
| While Wesker crouches to the floor, right before he leaves the battle after |
| suffering too much damage, a player can shoot him two more times with a |
| magnum and perform yet another melee combo to him. To add more insult to |
| injury, a player can shoot him while he is on the ground after the melee |
| combo to make Wesker attempt his dash attack, to which the player can |
| counter with the on-screen button command that will appear. Once he falls |
| from a successful counter, aim at him again then shoot to make him run. Be |
| sure to taunt afterward to enjoy your moment. Keep in mind that a knife |
| slash can be substituted for any ground shot to make him react. |
| |
| Why in the world would you want to waste bullets and hit him with another |
| melee combo, you might ask? |
| |
| Because you're reading Berserker's guide and in Berserker's guide, we make |
| a complete mockery of bosses when we finally finish them, if possible. |

JILL
----
HP: 1,500
HP: 10,000 (device on chest)
Weak Points: - Chris' words through Entreat command (causes Jill's device to
malfunction)
- Jill's back (get behind and restrain her)
- Jill on ground (can be restrained while fallen)
- Device on chest (main weak point/must be shot or torn off
through action command)
Attacks/Moves:
1) Machine Gun Fire - Jill aims at a character with both machine guns and fires
at that character. Run to the side or sidestep to avoid the gunfire.
2) Somersault Grab - Jill jumps toward a character and somersaults in the air.
If this hits then she will latch her arms onto the character's back and flip
that character onto the ground behind her.
3) Sliding Machine Gun Fire - Jill quickly slides toward a character and fires
her machine guns while sliding.
4) Circular Machine Gun Fire - Jill holds out both her arms to her sides then
begins to fire her machine guns as she brings her arms to her front portion.
If a character is not behind her to restrain her, consider shooting her with
a low power weapon such as a machine gun.
5) Ceiling Machine Gun Fire - Jill runs up a pillar then sticks to the ceiling
and fires her machine guns. If she is shot off the ceiling then she will be
stunned when she lands, allowing for a "Tear Off" command to appear while
near her.
6) Kick - While crouched down, Jill will performs a kick forward. Step away
from her to avoid this.
7) Second Floor Machine Gun Fire - Jill runs up a pillar then jumps to the
second floor. She will lock onto a character and fire at that character.
Run to the side to avoid this or sidestep. A character can also move up
under the floor of the balcony she is positioned on to avoid this.
--> DON'T YOU TRUST YOUR PARTNER?
The majority of this battle is spent trying to get button prompt commands on
Jill. Just about all of her attacks can be avoided by stepping or running to a
side. Even though shooting her too much will kill her, she has some attacks
that can only truly be avoided by shooting her such as her circular machine gun
fire. Use a low powered machine gun to shoot her in order to cancel the
attack.
A Chris player can get a special "Entreat" button prompt command while standing
near Jill; Chris doesn't have to be directly beside Jill to get this. Chris
will talk to Jill with one of the following phrases when the "Entreat" command
is performed:
"Jill! What are you doing!?"
"Stop this! Jill! Answer me!"
"It's me Chris. Don't you recognize me!?"
"Come on! Snap out of it!"
"Don't do this Jill!"
"I don't want to hurt you!"
The phrases are always mentioned in that order then they will repeat. If a
Chris player keeps using the "Entreat" command while close to Jill, the device
will eventually malfunction as Jill struggles to gain control. Jill will
stagger in place while the device malfunctions and that is one of the best
times to attempt to get a button prompt command on her from close range. A
character can also wait until she recovers from an attack such as her kick then
get a button prompt command from either side of Jill at that time.
--> DAMAGING THE DEVICE ON HER CHEST
There are two ways to damage the device on Jill's chest:
a) Through a button prompt "Tear Off" action command while she is restrained or
down on the ground.
b) Through gunfire pointed directly at the device while she is restrained.
--> DAMAGING THE DEVICE THROUGH GUNFIRE
Anytime that a partner is restraining Jill, approach Jill and aim directly at
the red device on her center chest then fire at it with a weapon and the device
will receive heavy damage. The best type of weapon to use is a rifle (for
precision aiming) but a character can also use a handgun or machine gun.
Believe it or not, a character can actually damage the device with a shotgun
and not hit Jill in the process. Now hold steady Jill and allow Chris to get
that nasty device off your chest with his triple-barrel Hydra! Even a knife
slash will work if aimed properly.

| All gun attacks that hit the device will take the same amount of damage |
| from it. Whether a character uses a handgun, machine gun, magnum or rocket |
| launcher, the damage per shot to the device will always be the same. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Shooting the device can be slightly risky in that the player might accidentally
hit Jill and damage her, but the hit detection window is very forgiving for
attempting to hit the device. The gunfire does not have to be exactly precise.
Directly after shooting the device during a restrain, the character that shoots
can take advantage of a "Throw" command while standing in front of Jill then
toss her to the ground. Either character might be able to get the "Tear Off"
action button command while Jill is grounded after that Throw.
Hitting Jill with gunfire normally is not always a bad thing to do. As already
mentioned, hitting her with a low power machine gun can cancel her machine gun
blasts (tap the trigger once while aiming at her). If she runs up the wall and
hangs off the ceiling to fire her machine guns, a gun attack that hits her will
knock her down to the floor and stun her, allowing a character to get the "Tear
Off" command while standing above her.
It is very possible to hit the device on her chest with gunfire anytime during
the battle, but precise aiming is needed. One of the best times to aim for the
device is when she performs her circular machine gun fire. You're not going to
hit the device near as much while aiming for it while she is not restrained
however.
--> DAMAGING THE DEVICE THROUGH MELEE (BUTTON PROMPT COMMANDS)
- Chris Actions:
Entreat = Chris action while near Jill when she is not stunned. This causes
Chris to talk to Jill and weaken the chest device's control on her.
Tear off = Chris action while standing in front of Jill during Sheva restrain.
Tear off = Chris action while Jill is grounded after Sheva's Throw or Chris'
Throw. Stand over Jill.
Restrain = Chris action from Jill's back side while she is stunned.
Throw = Chris action from Jill's front side while she is stunned.
- Sheva Actions:
Tear Off = Sheva action while standing in front of Jill during Chris restrain.
Tear off = Sheva action while Jill is grounded after Sheva's Throw or Chris'
Throw. Stand over Jill.
Restrain = Sheva action from Jill's back side while she is stunned.
Throw = Sheva action from Jill's front side while she is stunned.
- Both Player Action
Dodge = Chris or Sheva command anytime Jill escapes from a "Restrain" or
ground "Tear Off" command. The character performing the "Restrain"
or the character performing a ground "Tear Off" command will have to
use this command to avoid damage from Jill's counterattack. This
command occurs right before her punch counterattack.
Both Chris and Sheva can restrain Jill or toss her to the ground then attempt
to tear off the device on her chest through a button prompt command. The
button will differ depending on the type of restraint. A standing "Tear Off"
requires the use of the assist button, while a ground "Tear Off" requires the
use of the action button.
A character must wait until Jill is slightly stunned from her device
malfunction or while she is recovering from one of her attacks before the
restrain or throw command will appear while standing next to Jill. A character
can also perform the same command directly after a partner shoots Jill's device
since she will stagger for a while afterwards.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| Jill can be stunned briefly with a flash grenade or flash round that is |
| thrown/shot near her. This will make it to where both characters will get |
| the "Restrain" command from behind or a "Throw" command from the front of |
| Jill. This little technique is very important on Veteran mode since the AI |
| partner will be getting hit while trying to restrain or throw Jill. The |
| Entreat command is not that useful on Veteran mode. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
--> THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TEARING THE DEVICE OFF AND SHOOTING IT
Attempting to tear off the device will do less damage to it when compared to
shooting it. Shooting the device will do extreme damage while she is
restrained and attempting to tear it off will require many more attempts. A
player should resort to shooting the device on Veteran mode when the AI partner
restrains Jill. Also there is a trophy/achievement involved with tearing the
device from her chest.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT ALERT _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Trophy/Achievement: Masters of Removing
Description: Work together to save someone special.
Details: The device on Jill's chest must be removed through a button command in
order to receive this trophy/achievement. The final attack must show the
character removing the device from her chest while Jill is standing. A partner
must restrain Jill from behind and the other character must remove the device
through the button prompt assist "Tear Off" command.

(------------) LOCATION: Ship Deck - Chapter 6-1
\ EMBLEM / DETAILS: Look off to the south from the starting point on the
\________/ Ship Deck and find the cross-shaped structure on the south side
of the boat to find this medal on the very top of it. You'll
really need a PSG-1 rifle with a level 2 scope magnification to
be able to make out the actual emblem. Without it, you'll only
see a glowing speck on top of the structure from the current
distance. It can be shot later on in the area before entering
the exit door to move onto the next area.

.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| There is a Majini behind the vent to the south. Turn around and face the |
| south then move toward the ladder to see a Majini armed with a stun rod, on |
| a railing beside the current one to the south. Take out a rifle and shoot |
| him and he will leave behind a ++TOPAZ (OVAL)++ treasure. In order to get |
| this treasure, he must be shot before the crane drops the cage trap later |
| in the area. The characters must also make sure that the crane actually |
| drops the cage trap by NOT shooting the Majini near the controls of the |
| crane. This is one place to shoot him and I'll point out the next place |
| later on in this area. |

| [ ] | TREASURE: Topaz (Oval) [2,000 gold]
|_________________| DETAILS: From where the characters start, turn to the
south and back up toward the ladder then keep looking to
the south to see a Majini armed with a stun rod on a
walkway behind a vent close to the platform that the
characters are on. Shoot him and he will drop the topaz
treasure. He can also be shot when the characters climb on
top of the metal container to push the blue crate in front
of the locked gate. The treasure is along the north side
of the walkway behind the area with the locked gate. When
a character opens the gate by using the keycard, on that
character's way to raise the cage, this will be off to the
right once the character moves up the stairs.
In order to collect this treasure, the characters MUST NOT
kill the Majini that activates the cage trap on the crane
tower or the way to this treasure cannot be accessed. The
characters must also shoot this Majini BEFORE the cage
drops. The character that has to raise the cage will meet
this Majini after moving up the stairs past the locked
gate. If he is shot at that time, he will not drop this
treasure.

If you stand from where the characters start out and look up on the northeast
tower, a Majini with grenades strapped to his chest can be seen. This Majini
will toss down pipe bombs at your characters in the battle up ahead, and he can
be eliminated right now with a rifle.
Drop down the side with the ladder up ahead then break the two --TALL CRATES--.
When the characters move up the stairs to the side, three Majini with stun rods
will attack along the walkway as one of them alerts the others. One Majini on
the second floor of the high platform to the north will toss pipe bombs at the
characters so take out the rifle and shoot him quickly. The other Majini along
the high walkway will leap down and attack the characters with a stun rod
before too long.
Both characters could get some easy tag team melees here if the players want to
try for them. The majority of the Majini that the characters will run into on
this stage have armor attached to different places of their body, so you'll
need to aim at unarmored portions of their body in order to hit them. The only
gun that can break through their heavy armor is a magnum. The magnum will
ignore the armor and shoot directly through it.

.---------------------------------- TIP --------------------------------------.
| 1) From the third high platform on the north end of the boat, look off to |
| the south and kill the two Majini armed with stun rods on the top |
| portion of the crane. A ++TOPAZ (OVAL)++ treasure will be dropped by |
| each of them and can be obtained near the area where the cage falls (two |
| separate areas). |
| |
| 2) The Majini with the stun rod above the first crane ladder off to the |
| south can be shot now as well. He will toss pipe bombs later. |
| |
| 3) If you have a rifle scope with a 2x magnification then look toward the |
| platform above the Majini on the platform with the ladder a Majini is |
| right across from a crane lever. If he is killed then the cage trap |
| later in the stage will not fall on a character and also shooting the |
| crane operator cancels out many enemies that would normally appear in |
| the middle of this area and it also cancels the need of a crane keycard |
| and need to get on the crane. |
| |
| NOTE: Shooting the crane operator Majini will make it to where a collection |
| of gold worth 3,000 gold will be unattainable and it also makes it to where |
| a Topaz (Oval) treasure mentioned above cannot be obtained. |

move forward and fight the Majini like normal then climb
all the way up both ladders on the high platform. Arm a
rifle (preferably with a level 2 scope magnification) then
look off to the south. Find the crane that extends across
the middle portion of the area up high then shoot each of
the two Majini on top of the crane. They will each drop a
Topaz (Oval), which can be obtained later in the area.
Once the characters reach the ladder on the side of the
metal container beyond the area where the cage drops (or
doesn't drop if you shot the crane operator early), climb
the ladder on the metal container to the east and you'll
see a glowing treasure off to the left. That will be the
first Topaz (Oval). Continue on around the east corner
where the characters have to raise both lifts and the
second Topaz (Oval) will be on the floor in front of the
two lifts.

Hop back down the side with the ladder and move up the stairs. Have a shotgun
handy. Shortly after the characters step onto the stairs, the crate behind
them to the east will bust open as two Adjules attack and two Majini with stun
rods will attack the characters from the north. It's best to rush back down
the stairs and focus on the Adjules first of all. Of the two Majini, one of
them will form a Cephalo unless an instant death melee kill is perform from the
back of him after a leg stun.
Move back up the stairs then down the next set of stairs on the opposite side
after the battle. A Majini with a stun rod and two Adjules will attack from up
ahead then a Big Man Majini will be waiting from off to the left. The Big Man
Majini is still nothing a little up close shotgun blast followed by a melee and
another shotgun blast followed melee (then repeat) can't handle, so take care
of him first of all then use a shotgun to focus on the Majini and the Adjules.
The Big Man Majini will leave behind a ++JEWEL BANGLE++ as usual.

A single Majini will attack further around the corner or he might attack with
the others if you step to far. He will form into a Duvalia once defeated.
It's best to toss a flash grenade to deal with the Duvalia. Luckily there is a
++FLASH GRENADE++ and ++RED HERB++ lying along the side of crate to the left so
grab the flash grenade and toss it at him if your characters need one. If you
choose to fight the Duvalia without a flash grenade then you'll have to shoot
him in the legs then blast his mouth when he fall on his knees.

Both characters should use the partner assist button prompt command to move the
big crate at the other end of the metal container. The first character that
falls below and steps toward the area in the middle will get trapped by a metal
cage that is on a crane above the characters. A cutscene will trigger before
the character gets trapped. In single player mode, the trapped character will
always be the AI partner no matter who goes first. The trapped character will
have three --TALL CRATES-- and a ++FIRST AID SPRAY++ in the area around the
character.
The untrapped character will be forced to fight a few Majini as they leap out
of the two containers along the sides. One of the Majini will toss pipe bombs
from an open crate so aim for his grenade strap on his chest then fire at them
to finish him off quickly. The last Majini in the wave of Majini will carry a
metal shield and he will transform into a Duvalia once defeated. Have a flash
grenade ready for the Duvalia to quickly kill it. Otherwise, the characters
will need to aim for its legs and hopefully make it fall on its knees then
shoot it in its mouth when it leans over. The Duvalia will leave behind the

that? During the lift rising cutscene, the cutscene actually gave us a glimpse
of a BSAA emblem. But it's inside of the left crate next to the metal lift, so
how in the hell do we hit it? You need to toss a hand grenade through the

Partner 2 will rise up in front of a --TALL CRATE-- so take out the knife that
all breakable objects fear and slash it. In order to break the two --TALL
CRATES-- in the center of the metal containers below, one partner must jump
down toward them from the south side of the metal container, otherwise you'll
only get a "Jump" command instead of a "Jump Down" command. Both characters
will have to fall down again and reshoot the lifts while on top of them - once
to make them lower then once to make them rise again (once the characters are
in place).
.------------------------------------ TIP ------------------------------------.
| In single player mode, choose to go up the east lift and don't shoot the |
| lift for your AI partner until your character falls down to the area with |
| the tall crates and slashes them then falls and move all way back to the |
| lift. This will save you from having to reshoot the partner lift to make |

Drop from the opening with the ladder down the hall. The characters will begin
to discuss Wesker as they move down the staircase. Just what has Chris done to
piss Wesker off so much? Was it a favorite pair of Oakley sunglasses that
Chris Haymakered into little pieces during one battle, or perhaps Wesker is
jealous of how much free time Chris had with Rebecca during the Mansion
Incident. No one will ever know but them two I suppose.
Break the three --TALL CRATES-- in the bottom area then open the metal case and
pick up the ++JAIL BREAKER (SG)++. Keep in mind that this shotgun comes with a
pretty low attack power for right now, so if you've already got a boosted
shotgun, I'd keep using that one for the moment. The Jail Breaker is good for
distant firing and it still packs quite a punch from up close.

Run down the hall ahead and both players should now use the partner assist

Chris and Sheva seemed to have messed up Excella's little cool streak. Oh,
she's even sexy when she looses confidence though. I bet Chris followed every
movement of that highly entertaining strut to the door.
Speaking of sexy, let's talk item pickups. Turn around and break the glass
that covers the middle shelves then pick up the ++RIFLE AMMO (+5)++. Turn on
the second monitor in the room to view the --TRICELL RESEARCHER MIGUEL'S

the second desk and a ++GREEN HERB++ on the back shelf.

The door that Excella closed cannot be opened or even examined, so move on over
to the other door and open it then step out into the hall.
This next path can be done with full stealth without raising an alarm. If the
alarm is set off then both characters will have to deal with tons of armed
Majini.
--> STEALTH
Through the doorway up ahead, you should be able to make out a Majini with a
gun on a far walkway in the room ahead. Take out the rifle and shoot him with
a headshot now. Step out onto the walkway behind the door. Look at the floor
below the walkway to find two Majini with machine guns. Shoot them both with
headshots, but shoot the Majini on the left first or he may see the other one
once it is shot. Every Majini that your characters shoot right now will not
have to be fought in just a few minutes.
.----------------------------------- TIP -------------------------------------.
| To make the stealth method easier in single player, take away all of the AI |
| partner's guns. Thankfully, the AI partner will not run down and slash the |
| Majini! |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Now that we've thinned out the group below, take out the rifle and look to the
high metal walkway in the south. Look behind the yellow railing and shoot the
Majini that is surveying the area around the middle of that walkway. Quietly
move down the walkway to the east and take cover behind the left side of the
wall at the end. Pop out and go for headshot on the Majini around the corner.
That's good, Snake. Now let's move further down the walkway that curves to the
north.
A Majini will step into view on the bottom floor to the west (he moves up the
trapdoor ladder below), so allow him to move into view while your characters
are on the walkway then go for a headshot when he stops. The lookout Majini
are all gone now. Congrats, you just got through a pretty tough area with
complete stealth. If you're the type of gamer that yells out "Hurt me more!"
at the sound of battle like a crazed Gray Fox then follow the method below.
--> FULL ALERT
Run in and allow them to see your characters. It's best to stay on the first
floor and take out as many Majini as possible before moving below. Use the
metal walls as cover.

As the characters reach the turn to the east while moving down the corridor
that goes north, a Majini will pop out from around the corner, so shoot him
with a headshot. One Majini lies in wait down the south corridor with his bare
arms exposed through his metal armor, just begging to be tag teamed with a
Skull Crusher ending, so don't disappoint him. The only surprise left is the
Majini with a machine gun that will hop down from the top of the ladder at the
end of the final corridor. Climb the ladder afterwards.
The characters will exit to the other side of the room after climbing the
ladder. Pick up the ++RED HERB++ from behind the metal crate with another one
stacked on top of it to the right, the ++SHOTGUN SHELLS (+5)++ on the metal
crate near the explosive canisters and the two ++INCENDIARY GRENADES++ on the
metal crate to the left of the one with the shotgun shells.

GATLING GUN MAJINI
------------------
HP: 8,000
Why can't they just call him JJ Majini or Ever Bigger Man Majini. Ah, well.
They would all fall the same with Berserker's help anyway, so let's get down to
business.
Attacks:
Gatling Gun Fire - Gatling Gun Majini raises his gatling gun and begins to fire
a blast of bullets for about 5 seconds. A character can run to the side or get
behind/take cover behind some type of object to avoid this. If several bullets
hit the character in succession then the character will fall.
Gatling Gun Strike - While close to him, Gatling Gun Majini swings forward with
the barrel of his gatling gun.
Gatling Gun Air Fire - Gatling Gun Majini points his gun upward with both hands
then fires the gun. This is a taunt move.
Pipe Bomb Toss - Gatling Gun Majini tosses a pipe bomb at a character. He
likes to toss a pipe bomb when a character is taking cover, so be sure to
instantly move when he tosses one.
--> THE GATLING GUN MAJINI APPROACHES
The Gatling Gun Majini will move down the stairs on the east side of the room
at the beginning of the fight. He only fires when the characters show
themselves, so it's best to always be near some type of cover area. His
gatling gun fire can also be avoided by running in a direction and circling
around him, but this room is really too small to try that often, so taking
cover is the best option.
--> TWO AGAINST ONE
The best thing you have going into this battle is that fact that it is two
against one. The Gatling Gun Majini can only focus on one character at a time
with his moves, so one character can draw his fire while another plans out a
method of attack. This can even be helpful in single player when he is aiming
for the AI partner.
There is a major exploit here, in that the Gatling Gun Majini will not even
turn toward the other character even if that character runs directly up to him,
so that character could literally stand right next to him and fire without the
worry of getting hit.
--> TAKE COVER (AKA. HEY, GET OUT OF THE WAY!)
Use the crates in the area to take cover behind and keep in mind that your
characters can lead the Gatling Gun Majini all the way back to the other side
of the room by dropping back into the tunnel and having him follow your
characters.

_____________
| FULL COVER |
_______ | ALL SIDES __|
| | |__________| |_______|
|_| _______ _______ ______ ________ USING GAS CANISTERS TO STUN HIM
A direct hit while he is next to a red canister will stun him. A direct hit
means that he is very close to the explosive canister when it explodes. If he
is not close then the hit will simply stagger him a bit and he will go back to
walking.
A direct hit with a hand grenade will stun him as well. It should be noted
that an incendiary grenade will knock him out of any attack that he might be
preparing, but it will not stun him.
--> USING PROXMITY BOMBS TO STUN HIM
There are two proximity bombs in the area that can help out. Place a proximity
bomb directly in his path and lead him toward it to stun him instantly when the
explosion goes off. One surefire way of stunning him with a proximity bomb is
to drop back down into the corridor that the characters used to enter this area
and place one in a corridor then take cover behind a nearby wall and watch him.
--> USING A MAGNUM TO STUN HIM
Aim directly toward his head and fire a magnum bullet and this will always stun
him. Don't spam magnum fire, instead, use it to stun him. Magnum fire to the
head is the quickest and less troublesome quick stun that a character can get
during this battle; just make sure your aim is good. Wait until the Gatling
Gun Majini stops moving!
--> WHAT TO DO WHEN HE IS STUNNED
When he is stunned from any type of explosive he will stand and shake his head.
At that time, run up to him and perform a gunshot then cancel that attack in a
the melee prompt button command that appears. The melee command will always be
the character's tag team melee for any hit while he is staggering while
grabbing his head. The characters can double team him with two attacks for
each stun.
When he is hit aggressively with a heavy gunshot such as a shotgun, he will
block the shot, much like a Giant or Big Man Majini then get pushed back. Both
characters can approach him at that time to get in a melee attack each.
Keep in mind that your characters can get in a few shots before performing a
melee; for instance, a shotgun blast then quickly cancel into a Haymaker during
the shot!
--> LEADING HIM INTO THE MIDDLE CORRIDOR
As previously mentioned, both characters can lead him back down into the middle
corridor and set up quite a number of proximity bomb traps and simply take
cover behind a wall then pop out and shoot him. He is at a total disadvantage
while in this corridor if the characters have a heavy stock of rifle ammo.
With a high powered rifle, a character could easily stand at a corner and spam
him with rifle shots then take cover every often to avoid his gunfire. He
usually doesn't toss a pipe bomb far enough down the corridor to hit the
characters while they take cover.
--> TEARING THROUGH THE GATLING GUN MAJINI (AKA. YEAH, SWIPED 'EM CLEAN. YEAH!)
There is a way to completely trap the Gatling Gun Majini in any mode. The
hardest part is getting the first stun, but after that he can be trapped with
supreme aggression through shotgun fire and melee attacks. This has to be done
from a blocked gunshot stun and not a headshot stun.
Allow your partner to serve as bait (wait until he aims at the partner) then
run up to the Gatling Gun Majini while he fires and shoot him with the shotgun
from close range to make him block the shot then run up and melee attack him.
After the melee attack, move forward a bit then blast him twice (maybe just
once depending on the shotgun used) with the shotgun to make him block and push
him back once again. Perform a melee attack as he falls back then run up to
him again and perform two shotgun blasts to stun him then melee him again.
Rinse and repeat until he is dead. Backing him into a wall can sometimes mess
the viewpoint up a bit so be very careful while attempting this near a wall
corner.
Collect **TANKER KEYCARD A** from the Gatling Gun Majini's dead body.

There is a ++PROXIMITY BOMB++ on a left metal crate, a ++GREEN HERB++ on a

-- CHECKPOINT
Step toward the locked door up the stairs to the southeast and, after
collecting both keycards, both characters can use the assist button command to
move onto the next room.
No, it's not over yet. A cutscene will show a Majini with a rocket launcher
fire a rocket toward the top crate in the stack of crates in front of the
characters. Quickly run forward after the cutscene and take cover behind the
nearest crate then equip a rifle. These metal crates can be destroyed by
rocket fire, so your shots have to be quick in this area.

Destructible Cover Areas
There are three Majini with rocket launchers in the back of the room. One is
on the southwest side, one is on the southeast side and there is another in the
bottom area in between the two floors. Raise up in between rocket fire and
focus on one at a time then hit it with the rifle. A character can't perform a
simple headshot on the top floor Majini because of the metal masks on these
particular Majini, so find any unarmored area on them and spam rifle fire to
those areas. Get a headshot on the rocket launcher Majini on the bottom floor
first of all then focus on the rest. Each of the three Majini with rocket
launchers will drop a ++DEAD BRIDE'S NECKLACE++ treasure.

It's very possible to take on the rocket launcher Majini from close range if
that is the only option. Each shot delivered to them will make them stagger
backward, which carries the same button prompt melee command as a knee or leg
stun while close to one, so a character can simply shoot one to make it stagger
then run behind it and perform an instant kill melee! The melee sequence will
also provide a slight invincibility animation to shield the character from any
rocket fire.
In some regards, fighting them from close range is much easier since all you
have to do is fire then perform an instant melee kill from behind, but when
your characters step to the bottom area while the rocket launcher Majini are in
the area, four Bui kichwa will bust out of the metal crate on the stack of
crates to the right, so this sort of complicates matters a bit. A flash
grenade could instantly get rid of them though and then you could simply shoot
+ instant kill melee your way through the Majini with the rocket launchers.
Your choice.
As previously mentioned, all eight of the bottom --METAL CRATES-- can be
destroyed by the Majini with rocket launchers and the crates will leave behind
an item, but keep in mind that these serve as your character's cover. There is
a --WOODEN CRATE-- and a --TALL CRATE-- to the right on the current side of the
room and a ++GREEN HERB++ on a covered crate as well. There is a --TALL
CRATE-- right below the stack of two large crates to the right after dropping
down to the middle area.

Chris and Sheva are now trapped inside the boat with impending doom of what
used to be the woman with one of the sexiest of accents in the RE universe now
turned into a slimy Uroboros by none other than Practical Al. No wonder why
Chris dislikes that man so!
The walls all around them seep black liquid as the characters move throughout
this ship. Run down the corridor to the east.
The characters will see a ++GREEN HERB++ up ahead but bear in mind that the
first character that steps down that corridor must press a button prompt
command (always the action button) in order to [DUCK] the Uroboros tentacle
that tries to grab that character. I'll place button press actions in brackets
for this chapter since there are places like this all along the corridors, so
be ready to react quickly at times. Watch for the holes in the ceiling to
identify these areas where a tentacle might attempt to grab a character. If a
character continues to stand under one of these holes in the ceiling then the
tentacle will try to grab once again. Excella wants some of that Redfield even
more than Chris wanted some of that Gionne earlier, I assure you. Hell, she
might even take some Alomar now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Green Herb - In a corner, down the first hall that the characters come to
while inside the ship.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continue around the left corner after grabbing the item. Obviously, a
character doesn't want to continue down the corridor with the Uroboros tentacle
in the way. If a character touches it then that character will get a slimy
leech-like substance all over his/her body after taking damage and the
substance will slowly drain health for a while.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Inside the right locker off to the to the right when
the characters have to step into the first room to avoid an overhead
tentacle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave the room through the north doorway. Outside the north windows the
characters can view more of the tragedy of Excella. While stepping under the
overhead opening in the ceiling, prepare to [DUCK] the tentacle as it tries to
grab the character that passes by underneath it. There is a dead Majini body
right below the opening.
There's too much Excella (tentacle) down the west hall so the characters are
going to have to open the door off to the left and continue into the south
room. Find the three closed lockers off to the left. The one on the far left
side is empty. For the two on the right, the left one contains nothing
(again?) and the right one contains some ++RIFLE AMMO (+5)++.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Rifle Ammo (+5) - Inside the far right locker off to the left once the
characters have to step inside of a room to avoid a second tentacle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick up the ++PROXIMITY BOMB++ near the dead Majini in the room to the west
then collect the ++SHOTGUN SHELLS (+5)++ lying along the desk near the exit
door. Approach the lockers on the south side then take the ++HANDGUN AMMO
(+10)++ out of the right locker on the left side. The rest of the lockers are
empty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Proximity Bomb - Lying near a dead Majini body in the room that the
characters have to step into after avoiding the second overhead tentacle.
[ ] Shotgun Shells (+5) - Lying on the shelf near the exit door in the room
that the characters have to step into after avoiding the second overhead
tentacle.
[ ] Handgun Ammo (+10) - Turn to the right after stepping through the doorway
in the room that the characters have to step into after avoiding the second
overhead tentacle and open the right locker in the set of close locker on
the left side.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, stop slashing that dead Majini with your knife then step out into the
north corridor by opening the door. The Uroboros outside continues to feed off
the dead bodies and grow even larger as the characters view the monstrosity
outside the window. When the characters continue down the hall again, prepare
to [DUCK] the tentacle shortly before stepping away from the section in front
of the door. Move up the stairs to the west.
While looking down the hall to the south, a body will suddenly get tossed into
the corner up ahead. The room to the side can't be entered from the north
doorway because of the Uroboros tentacle in the way, so continue down the south
hall ahead. Open the door on the left wall then collect the ++GREEN HERB++
from the right table inside. Find the row of lockers then open the middle
locker and collect the ++CHALICE (GOLD)++.

| Instead of moving into the middle of the Majini bodies down the hall up |
| ahead, the live Majini can be shot to make them get up early. This saves |
| your characters from getting surrounded. |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Back in the outside hall, approach the body in the north corner then step
around the corner to find several Majini bodies. Move on past them and five of
the Majini will rise up and attack. The one with body armor will form a
Duvalia once defeated. If you don't have a flash grenade then aim for its legs
with the shotgun and stun it with several shots to the legs then shoot it in
its mouth when it kneels. If a character has a flash grenade then simply toss
the flash grenade to get rid of the pest. Collect the **BRIDGE KEYCARD** from
the Duvalia after it falls.
----------------------------------------------------------------- KEY ITEM LIST
[ ] Bridge Keycard - Defeat the Duvalia that forms from the Majini in the hall
up the stairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move around the north corner up ahead. There is no use in running to the other
end of the hall since it just leads back to the doorway that the Uroboros
tentacle is blocking. Open the sliding doors that lead to the control room
along the right wall.
There are a few documents in here to read. Check out the --REPORT ON PROJECT W
- AUG. 28, 1998-- on the east set of controls then --SPENCER'S NOTEBOOK-- lying
in the suitcase under the light. Use the Bridge Keycard on the sliding door on
the south wall then step out into the hallway.

UROBOROS AHERI
--------------
HP: 7,000 (tentacles)
HP: 28,000 (main weak point)
Recommended - Rifle (hit glowing ends of tentacles from a distance)
Weapon(s): - Grenade Launcher w/Flame Rounds (hit main weak point)
- Handgun or Machine Gun (slow down tentacle for partner L.T.D
lock-on/hit Uroboros blobs [single])
- Incendiary Grenades (hit Uroboros blobs [group])
Weak Points: - Orange glowing center of front end of tentacles
- Orange glowing pod on top of Uroboros (main weak point)
Attacks:
1) Tentacle Smash - The glowing orange pod on two of the main tentacles
suddenly starts to light up as if charging then the tentacle lunges forward
to smash whatever is in front of it. The characters will get a button
prompt button command shortly before impact in order to roll out of the way
of this move. A tentacle targets one character at a time and that targeted
character must use the button prompt input to dodge the attack. This attack
can be cancelled by hitting the glowing tentacle before it strikes. Any
type of heavy weapon fire (shotgun blast, flame round, etc) aimed directly
at the orange glowing portion will automatically cancel the attack.
2) Tentacle Double Smash - Just like with the normal smash a glowing pod on a
tentacle will begin to glow a bright orange but the beast will roar a bit
then the tentacle will lunge forward and, directly after the lunge, the
tentacle will lean back then strike again. The lunges make a slightly
different sound when compared to a normal lunge. The main difference with
this move is that the button prompt input command will be two buttons for
one of the strikes, so prepare to press two shoulder or two face buttons.
3) Tentacle Slap - A tentacle moves to the right side of the top platforms then
swings toward the characters. A button prompt command must be entered
during the swing in order to duck the tentacle. This attack only covers the
top platform area.
4) Uroboros Blobs - When a tentacle is destroyed or the core of the Uroboros is
damaged badly, Uroboros blobs will land on the current platform with the
characters. These enemies attack by spreading the Uroboros black substance
onto the characters. They will instantly die after they attack but they
will leave behind a black leech-like substance on the character that will
drain the victim's health for a while.
5) Platform Smash - After the Uroboros has showcased its four tentacles, the
four tentacles will rise up into the air and the glowing ends of them will
turn a bright red. If the characters fail to hit any of the tentacles
within a few seconds a cutscene will play and all four tentacles will smash
the current platform that the characters are on.
--> GRAB THE L.T.D.
At the start of the battle, one player should use the bridge keycard on the
keycard slot to the right; it's in between the two ladders on the wall. This
will unlock the panel on the center wall and showcase the L.T.D. satellite
targeting device lying on the hanger inside. One player should grab the L.T.D
targeting device. This gun can be used to auto-target the Uroboros' weak
points and fire the satellite laser down upon it.
L.T.D. Controls:
.----------------------------------------------------------------.
| Aim Button = Look through targeting scope |
| Fire button = Fire satellite laser (once locked on) |
| Weapon Switch = Drop L.T.D. |
| Assist Button = Partner picks up/drops L.T.D. in single player |
'----------------------------------------------------------------'
While looking through the scope of the L.T.D. get a tentacle weak point in view
(glowing portion) and follow it. The red circle displayed on the scope will
grow smaller as the target is locked-on to. Once the words "Lock-on" appear,
press the fire button to fire the satellite's laser at the tentacle.
The L.T.D. must recharge for twenty seconds in between shots. A meter
displayed while looking through the scope will showcase how much more time the
L.T.D. needs until full charge. It's really best for the character to lay the
weapon down and help out the other character while this weapon charges since it
has such a hefty charge.
--> DEALING WITH THE TENTACLES
The tentacles of the Uroboros start out as only two but as the battle
progresses a total of four of them will emerge from the creature. Button
prompt commands must be used in order to dodge the tentacles' attacks since the
tentacles lock-on to a character. The tentacles will get much more aggressive
as the battle continues to progress mainly because they are more numerous but
also because they will perform a double ram after the Uroboros core weak point
has emerged one time.
The tentacles will leave behind small Uroboros blobs as they are destroyed.
The blobs will land on the platform. These blobs die within a few hits from a
handgun or machine gun or just about any other weapons. They also die after
attacking. They will leave behind a dark leech-like substance on a character
that will slowly drain that character's health for a few seconds until the
substance disappears.
An incendiary grenade's fire spread works well at defeating a grouped set of
Uroboros blobs but really a handgun or machine gun will work just as well.
Flame rounds have a good fire spread too and they are really needed for the
Uroboros blobs on higher difficulties, but no normal mode it's really best to
save them for damaging the Uroboros itself. The character that holds the
L.T.D. laser might have to set the laser down for a bit to help deal with these
enemies at times. These small enemies leave behind a wealth of ammo, green
herbs, hand grenades and incendiary grenades.
Each tentacle's weak point is its glowing orange front portion. These can be
shot with any weapon or they can be hit with the L.T.D. laser. The L.T.D.
laser will instantly destroy a tentacle but flame rounds from the grenade
launcher, rifle shots, and shotgun blasts all work pretty well at damaging one
as well. One character needs to focus on shooting the tentacles while the
other targets them. A tentacle might eventually cover its front glowing
portion with its dark skin. Shoot the skin covering to make it retract and
showcase its weak point once again.
--> WON'T YOU STAY STILL, DAMMIT!
The character that does not have the L.T.D. equipped should fire at the
tentacles with any weapon to make them stand still while the partner with the
L.T.D. aims. If the dark covering of skin is over a tentacle then it will move
around more than when the glowing portion is shown. If the orange glowing
portion of the tentacle suddenly becomes darker after weapon fire damage then
the tentacle will basically remain still.
In a single player game the AI partner can be made to pick up the L.T.D. The
partner's aim will be about as precise as a player really and the AI partner
will have difficulty aiming if the tentacle moves too much. Your character
will still need to slow down the tentacles with weapon fire for the AI partner.
Even with its pinpoint aiming skills at other times, the AI partner isn't going
to completely cheat with its pinpoint aiming during this battle. The moment a
tentacle remains in place before an attack sometimes give a player just the
right opportunity to get an instant lock-on and fire.
It's really best for the main player to pick up the L.T.D. laser cannon and
allow the AI partner to focus on shooting the tentacles. The AI partner's
pinpoint aiming showcases itself much better when hitting the tentacles rather
than aiming at the tentacle weak points with the L.T.D. The AI partner will
shoot at the tentacles with any weapon but equipping the partner with a rifle
will help out the most. Try using the S75 rifle to limit the AI partner's
gunfire spamming due to the bullet ejection and the AI partner will help out
quite a bit without using too much ammo.
--> THE MAIN WEAK POINT
The main weak point will emerge once all tentacles have been destroyed. The
top half of the Uroboros will melt away and a large orange glowing pod will
appear in the top center portion of its body. One character should aim the
L.T.D. laser at the weak point and lock-on then fire the satellite laser at it
while the other character hits the weak point with flame rounds from the
grenade launcher or rifle shots. In single player, lay down the L.T.D. laser
when the core weak point emerges (it'll most likely have to charge anyway) and
fire two flame rounds at the core yourself then pick up the L.T.D. laser and
quickly target the core then fire. The glowing core weak point will change to
more of a reddish color once the boss is near death. If one character happens
to have a rocket launcher once the core weak point is exposed then fire a
rocket directly at the weak point to instantly end the battle.
--> THE PLATFORM SMASH
Once the core weak point has emerged once, the Uroboros will hide its weak
point then four tentacle will emerge from its body. These tentacles will hover
high into the air and glow a dark red color. One of the red glowing ends of
the tentacles must be hit at that time with the L.T.D. satellite laser or a
flame round in order to keep the tentacles from smashing the platform. If the
tentacles are left idle for too long then a cutscene will play where they will
smash the platform and the game over screen will appear.
--> THE TWO LEVELS OF THE PLATFORM
The characters can choose to stay on the lower platform throughout the battle
or climb to the top platform. Other than the breakable tall crates filled with
fixed ammo and items and a slightly better view of the Uroboros, there is no
reason to climb up to the top of platform. Climbing to the top platform will
make the Uroboros perform a tentacle slap that can be hard to see coming since
the tentacle suddenly moves to a side and swings across the platform. It will
only perform this attack while the characters are on the top platform, so it is
really best to stay on the bottom platform for the majority of the battle.
--> A BATTLE OF TEAMWORK
No matter how this battle is fought through single player or co-op play, the
players are going to have work together in order to bring this boss down. One
player must use weapon fire to make the tentacles slow down while the other
character aims with the L.T.D. Both players need to help out in defeating the
Uroboros blobs since they will appear frequently. A handgun, machine gun,
incendiary grenade or flame round will work perfectly.
On single player it is best to give the AI partner plenty of Handgun, machine
gun ammo, or rifle ammo then allow the partner to hit the tentacle and the
blobs while your character aims. In the text above, I mention to give your
partner the S75 rifle, but if you're low in rifle ammo then just allow it to
hit the tentacles with a handgun or machine gun. A human player can aim at the
tentacles better with the L.T.D. laser while they move when an AI will only
restrict itself on purpose. There may come a time where the AI partner will
need help in defeating the Uroboros blobs, so don't constantly hold the L.T.D.
all the time.
